looper = false;

public static int getMidpoint(int low, int high)

int midpoint;

return midpoint;
}
So basically this is a guessing game that uses binary search, and the getMidpoint method gets the mid of the two numbers, min is 1 and max is 100. h stands for high and l stands for lower and c stands for correct. I have everything correct but the guess keeps coming out weird, like it give me random numbers. How can i update the max and min so it comes out correct? Hopefully i worded this right.
else if(respons == higher)
{
min = min + 1;
getMidpoint(min,max);
}
else if(respons == lower)
{
max = min - 1;
getMidpoint(min,max);
}
This part is strange. If the guess should be higher, you should do min = midpoint + 1 instead of only increasing min by 1. And when it should be lower, you should do max = midpoint - 1.
You haven't shown the implementation of getMidpoint(), so I'm not sure whether guess could be used as the new min/max or not.
