                    if(TEXT1 == number) {
                        Total = Total+(TEXT1 * 2);
                        String TEXT1;
                        
                        TEXT3.setText(Integer.toString(number));

                    }
                    else{
                        TEXT3.setText(Integer.toString(number));
                        Total =Total -TEXT1;
                        TEXT2.setText(Integer.toString(Total));
                        }
                }while(TEXT1 > 0);
        }
        
        });
    btnBET.setFont(new Font("Tw Cen MT Condensed Extra Bold", Font.PLAIN, 40));
    btnBET.setBounds(404, 29, 93, 177);
    frame.getContentPane().add(btnBET);
}
}

I want to whatever they enter in TEXT1 to be subtracted from the total if they do not get the right number and if they do i want whatever amount they betted to multiply by 2 and then add to the total however it keep outputting 50 which is the amount they start with whether the number they guessed is right or not

Answer 1

In order to get the text written in a JTextField you should:

    String textInText1 = TEXT1.getText();

but from what I see the variable names you use may lead to some problems (int TEXT1 and JTextField TEXT1) be careful.
