   Hi i am fairly new to java and am having a problem with some code, the code was not origanlly designed by me it is for a piece of work i am doing, and i am trying to modify it to get it to work, the problem is the user isprompted for a number between 1 - 1000, if they guess too high they are supposed to get a message saying guess lower and viseversa. only the guess higher and guess lower messages dont disply it just asks the user for a new number, strangly enough the guess higher and guess lower only show up if i go beyond the confines of the program for instance if i enter -1 it will tell me to guess higher and if i guess 1001 it will tell me to guess lower. can someone please help me with this. the code is below:
  
  import java.util.*;
  
  public class guessgameb
  {
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
  // Declare variables, setup keyboard input and the
  // random number generator
  int game_number, user_number;
  String continue_pref;
  Scanner data_input = new Scanner(System.in);
  Random generate = new Random();
  
  do
  {
  // Generate game number
  game_number = generate.nextInt(999) + 1;
  // The following line is a debug line, comment out
  // for real game.
  System.out.printf("Game number:%d%n", game_number);
  
  // Get users first guess
  System.out.print("The computer has generated a number.");
  do
  {
  System.out.printf("%nEnter your guess, from 1 to 1000 inclusive (0 to quit):");
  user_number = data_input.nextInt();
  
  } while ((user_number >= 1) && (user_number <= 1000));
  
  // While user has not guessed right and does not want to quit
  while ((user_number != game_number) && (user_number != 0))
  {
  if (user_number < game_number)
  {
  System.out.printf("You need to guess higher%n");
  }
  else
  {
  System.out.printf("You need to guess lower%n");
  }
  // Get users next guess
  do
  {
  System.out.printf("%nEnter your guess, from 1 to 1000 inclusive (0 to quit):");
  user_number = data_input.nextInt();
  
  } while ((user_number >= 0) && (user_number <= 1000));
  }
  
  if (user_number != 0)
  {
  // User has guessed right
  System.out.printf("%nYou guessed correctly, well done.%nDo you want to play again (y/Y)=Yes: ");
  continue_pref = new String(data_input.next());
  }
  else
  {
  // User wants to quit
  continue_pref = new String("No");
  }
  } while (continue_pref.equalsIgnoreCase("N"));
  }
  }
