//fix
System.out.println(++scoreTom);
System.out.println(--scoreBob);

Answer 1

Hey Swami,

Your so close, you want to set Tom & Bobs score from the initial Score (so that it passes the test cases, when a different initial score is provided as the input)

Change these lines:
int scoreTom = 5;
int scoreBob = 5;

to:
int scoreTom = initScore;
int scoreBob = initScore;

and your golden :D
