The complete program can use nearly the same code for the next two numbers as for the first number.
Here is the complete program. The differences in the code for each of the three numbers is highlighted in color. Noticing similarites like this between sections of code will often lead to better programs.
import java.io.*; class ComboLock { public static void main ( String[] args ) throws IOException { int lockFirst = 6, lockSecond = 12, lockThird = 30; // The combination int numb; // a user-entered number BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( System.in ) ); String input; boolean correct = true; //First Number System.out.println("Enter first number: "); input = stdin.readLine(); numb = Integer.parseInt( input ); if ( numb != lockFirst ) correct = false ; //Second Number System.out.println("Enter second number: "); input = stdin.readLine(); numb = Integer.parseInt( input ); if ( numb != lockSecond ) correct = false ; //Third Number System.out.println("Enter third number: "); input = stdin.readLine(); numb = Integer.parseInt( input ); if ( numb != lockThird ) correct = false ; //Result if ( correct ) System.out.println("Lock opens"); else System.out.println("Lock does not open"); } }
