Well, I'm not sure what you mean by proper structure, but here's my idea: 1) Start off with a brief introduction of what you're doing 2) You may want to get the user to declare the range of the number (1-10, 2-5, 100-250, etc.) 3) Generate a random integer within the range using the randint command 4) Get guesses in a loop, exiting when guess = number 5) If you want, use if statements to tell the person to guess higher or lower 6) Also, you can add in a counter to keep track of the number of guesses. Thats pretty much it, illu45 |

oh wait what was the code for a counter again so i can count the number of times they have guessed then exit when it is 10 |

I would suggest using randint instead of Rand.Int randint gives a variable a random number within the range, used like this:
That will set number to an integer between 1 and 10, then you can use it as your point of reference for ifs and exit whens |

You can do that too, I just prefer the randint command... |

I don't understand why. randint forces you to assign the random value to a variable. If you use Rand.Int, you have the choice of assigning it to a value or doing something else with it. If you only need it one time, say for a calculation, you don't have to go to the bother of creating a variable just for it. Functions > Procedures |

Did you know the randint command isn't really random. It gets it's supposed "Random" numbers from the computer clock, there is a pattern over a 24 hours period. |
