So I've been working on this game and right now, I'm trying to get some text to show up that prints a math problem. However, it doesn't seem to work. COuld anybody help?
private void randomQuestions()
    {
        a = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(20) + 1;
        b = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(20) + 1;
        c = Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(100) + 1;
        
        if (c<50)
        {
            text = "What is " + a + "+" + b;
            MyWorld world = (MyWorld)getWorld();
            world.showText(text, 100, 400);
        }
        else if (c>50)
        {
            if (a>b)
            {
                text = "What is " + a + "-" + b;
                MyWorld world = (MyWorld)getWorld();
                world.showText(text, 100, 400);
            }
            else
            {
                text = "What is " + b + "-" + a;
                MyWorld world = (MyWorld)getWorld();
                world.showText(text, 100, 400);
            }
        }
    }

By the way, this is part of an actor subclass that is to be called by another actor subclass in the program.

Show how actor calls this code. Btw, change line 7 to: 
if (c <= 50)
to ensure a question every time the method is called. This is NOT a fix to your issue however.

Which is called by this 
private void kirbyIntersect()
    {
        if (isTouching(Bowser.class) )
        {
           TextBox textBox = new TextBox ();
           MyWorld world = (MyWorld)getWorld();
           world.addObject(textBox, 780, 150);
        }
    }

The first two pieces of code are from a TextBox subclass under Actor that is being called by another Actor subclass called Kirby in the third piece of code

Nevermind, I just figured it out. I feel really dumb, but thanks for your help!
