I keep getting null

[Adam Burda]

Ok I’m working on a homework assignment to make a rock paper scissors game. I have made the main file and now I’m working on the class file. When I try to get it where value == 1 then pick = “Rock” and so on.
Then I want to output what pick is. I get null? Why? Here is my code.

public class TestM {
   public static void main(String[] args){

   	TestC one = new TestC();

   	one.print1();

   }
}

class TestC {

	private final int MAX = 3;
	private int value;
	private String pick;

	public TestC()
	{
		choice();
	}

	public void choice()
	{
		value = (int)(Math.random() * MAX) + 1;
	}

	public void change()
	{
		if(value == 1)
			pick = ("Rock");
	}

	public void print1()
	{
		System.out.println(pick);
	}

}

Thank you for any help on this.

Apparently the value is not 1. I'd start by examining what value it has, maybe by inserting another System.out.println statement.

Check when you're setting the value of pick. In which methods is it set, and when are those methods called.

Im sorry i forgot to enter all of the code the first time. here is the class Game file again with all if statements.

class Game
{

  private final int MAX = 3;
  private String pick;
  private int wins = 0, lost = 0, tie = 0;
  private int choice;

  public Game()
  {
    pcPick();
  }

  public void pcPick()
  {
    choice = (int)(Math.random() * MAX) + 1;
  }

  public void outPut(int choice)
  {
    if(choice == 1)
      pick = ("Rock");
    if(choice == 2)
      pick = ("Paper");
    if(choice == 3)
      pick = ("Scissors");
  }
}

You apparently haven't done this yet:
