int randomNum = 10; --This is the randomly generated number
boolean winNo = false;

if (userGuess + 5 >= randomNum)
winNo = false;
else
winN0 = true;


variable userGuess holds the user's guess value

I think you mean if the user guesses the right number in five or fewer guesses, it is considered a win? Anyhow, post what you have written so far and remember to use the java formatting tags, described in the gray box title "Formatting Your Post" at the right, when you are replying.

Okay! I'm sorry about the code I posted earlier that didn't work. Here's the code that will work for you.

public static void main (String args[]) {

String usernum = "";
String result = "";

int randomNum = 0;
int userNum = 0;

randomNum = 20; //You can randomly generate this.

usernum = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Your Guess");

userNum = Integer.parseInt(usernum);

if (userNum >= randomNum && userNum < randomNum + 5)
result = "You didn't exceed the generated number by more than 5. You win!!!";

else if (userNum <= randomNum && userNum > randomNum - 4)
result = "You're not more than 4 below the generated number. You win!!!";

else
result = "You're either more than 5 above or more than 4 below the generatd number. You lose!!!";

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, result, "Guessing Game", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);


System.exit(0);

}//end main

It might be a little more elegant to use abs().
