Help finishing program

Question

So I need to right a program where the user has to guess a number from 1 to 100 and the computer then says either higher or lower. The user then guesses again, and again until he gets the number right. Upon guessing the number right his score will come up which is the number of guesses it took him. I have no idea where to go from here, or how to have the score come up with the number of guesses. This is all I have and im not sure if its even right..
import java.util.Random;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class randomNumber {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Random generator=new Random ();
String playerInput;
playerInput=JOptionPane.showInputDialog (null,"Pick a number between 1 and 100");
double input2=generator.nextInt (100);
double input = Double.parseDouble (playerInput);
while (input != input2) {
if (input > input2) {
playerInput=JOptionPane.showInputDialog (null, "The number is lower, pick again");
if (input < input2){
playerInput=JOptionPane.showInputDialog (null, "The number is Higher, pick again");
if (input == input2) {
JOptionPane.showInputDialog (null, "You are correct!");
}

Answer 1

I think that writing the whole of your program in the main method isn't a very good idea , I think that you can use a class that encapsulates a game , you can put a variable which is incremented each time the user guess a number and when it's right it calls another method that shows the result in another JOptionPane with the variable(s) you used
