----------------------------------- Dylan-182 Fri May 20, 2005 10:22 pm Help Needed With Number Guess :D ----------------------------------- as the title says i need some help with a number guess prg. im just kinda fiddling with it in my spare time and i know that i have to use if statments and variables and such but also i want a random number generator. So basically i know WHAT i need i just dont know the proper structure so if ne1 could help it would b much appreciated :D ----------------------------------- illu45 Fri May 20, 2005 10:26 pm ----------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------- Dylan-182 Fri May 20, 2005 10:35 pm ----------------------------------- lol yea thats xactly what i was looking for actually but i cant remember how 2 use randint :think: lol but oh well i guess ill figure it out eventually tnx for the help :D ----------------------------------- zylum Fri May 20, 2005 10:52 pm ----------------------------------- randomNumber := Rand.Int(1, 10) %genereates a number between 1 and 10 inclusive ----------------------------------- Dylan-182 Fri May 20, 2005 10:59 pm ----------------------------------- :o ty :D lol ohh yeaaa thats how u do it hehe :lol: ----------------------------------- Dylan-182 Fri May 20, 2005 11:02 pm ----------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------- Dylan-182 Fri May 20, 2005 11:12 pm ----------------------------------- umm ok i have it set up so that if its 2 low itll say 2 low and if its 2 high it says 2 high but it wont exit when then guess = the random number :? ----------------------------------- MysticVegeta Sat May 21, 2005 10:36 am ----------------------------------- mind posting the code so we can check? ----------------------------------- illu45 Sat May 21, 2005 1:35 pm ----------------------------------- I would suggest using randint instead of Rand.Int randint gives a variable a random number within the range, used like this: var number : int randint (number,1,10) 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 ----------------------------------- Neo Sat May 21, 2005 1:39 pm ----------------------------------- I would suggest using randint instead of Rand.Int randint gives a variable a random number within the range, used like this: var number : int randint (number,1,10) 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 Umm.. var number := Rand.Int (1, 10) ----------------------------------- illu45 Sat May 21, 2005 1:40 pm ----------------------------------- I would suggest using randint instead of Rand.Int randint gives a variable a random number within the range, used like this: var number : int randint (number,1,10) 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 Umm.. var number := Rand.Int (1, 10) You can do that too, I just prefer the randint command... ----------------------------------- Dylan-182 Sat May 21, 2005 4:07 pm ----------------------------------- lol yea i posted the game on the submitted prgs page :D u shuld cehck it out and give me some feedback on it lol ----------------------------------- Notoroge Sat May 21, 2005 4:31 pm ----------------------------------- Does your program look anything like this: var heh, guess : int := Rand.Int (1, 10) loop put "Guess a number between 1 and 10: " .. get guess if guess = heh then put "you win" return else put "nope, guess again!" end if end loop:P ----------------------------------- Cervantes Sat May 21, 2005 4:46 pm ----------------------------------- 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.

It gets it's supposed "Random" numbers from the computer clock, there is a pattern over a 24 hours period.
