Learning Java in school currently and writing the classic “guess a number” game. I have to add an additional option to quit out mid-program, but am a little stuck on how to properly add that ability? I’m mostly confused on how I’d be able to do this given the scanner is asking for an int, where I want the string “quit” to allow the user to exit.

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Random;

public class NumberGuesser {

    public static void playGuess() {
                // method created to run all the game logic when the main method calls it
        Random rand = new Random();
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        int answer = rand.nextInt(50 - -50 + 1) + -50;
        int totalGuesses = 1;
                //  storing random + input + guess count
        while (true) {
                // while loop to run while method is called + random excluded to not create new one each guess
            System.out.println("Please enter a number between -50 and 50.");
            int guess = sc.nextInt();

            if  (guess > 50 || guess < -50) {
                // incorrect entry handling first (does not add to count if incorrect)
                System.out.println("Incorrect entry.");

            } else if (guess == answer) {
                // correct answer check + break
                System.out.println("Correct! It took you " + totalGuesses + " guesses.");
                break;

            } else if(guess < answer) {
                // if guess is less than + adds to count
                System.out.println("The number is higher.");
                totalGuesses++;

            } else if(guess > answer) {
                // if guess is more than + adds to count
                System.out.println("The number is lower.");
                totalGuesses++;

            }
        }
    }

    public static void main (String[]args) {
// main method to call the game + prompt to play again
      boolean playAgain = true;

     do {
// call game when user input is y + ends program if not
         playGuess();
         System.out.println("Would you like to play again? Y/N.");
         Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
         String answer = sc.nextLine();
         playAgain = answer.equalsIgnoreCase("y");

        }  while (playAgain);
    }

}
