I noticed that in your pseudo code, it sounds like you only ever ask the
user for a number once (not sure though, because the "while the user has not
made an incorrect guess" part is a bit vague to me). If that's the case, you
should really re-evaluate why in your Java code you're asking the user for a
number twice.
