help with random number

[asianrandy]

i need to learn about random number, so i can ready for to making a guessing game for my assignment. please and thank you

[Insectoid]

Go into Turing and press F10. If that doesn't work, look through the Turing Walkthrough.

[andrew.]

Like insectoid said, go into Turing and press F10. Search for randint and Rand.Int. Those should help you out.

Also, this should be in the Turing Help, not the Tutorials.

[Tony]

moved to Turing Help.

Also -- it's Rand.Int(). (randint is deprecated)

[asianrandy]

am sorry

[asianrandy]

code:

var number, guess : int var count : int := 1 var my_money : real := 10.00 randint (number, 1, 10) %Picks a random number from 1 to 10 %Can make it pick from any set of numbers by changing the number '10' to any numver you want put repeat (" ", 20), "Welcome to Randy's Guessing Game" put "You are guessing three numbers between 1 and 10.Every guess cost you one dollar.Guess all three numbers before you run out of money and you. You start with $10." put " You have $10 left in your account. One turn costs 1 dollar." put "Can You Guess What It Is?" loop %repeat code until stoped     put "Enter Your Guess"     get guess %user puts in his/her guess     if guess = number then %If user guesses the correct number         put "CORRECT"         if count >= 1 then %number of tries are counted             put "It took you ", count, " tries to get the number" %tells user how many tries it took them         end if         put "The number was ", number %puts what the secert number was     end if     if guess > number then %if the user inputs a number higher then the secrect number         put "TO HIGH"         var my_money : real := -1     elsif guess < number then %if the user inputs a number lower then the secrect number         put "TO LOW"     end if     count := count + 1 %each time the loop re-runs, count is added by one     exit when guess = number %exit out of repeating loop when user gets the correct number end loop %end the reapetative loop

i need help, the user the has $10 and if the user gets it wrong the user will lose 1, everytime the user get it wrong.

Don't you need to declare a couple of variables outside the loop, e.g. $ of user and # of random numbers to be guessed?

Within the loop, it should be simple enough to keep track of what the user's money is by subtracting one if the guess is wrong.

[asianrandy]

what the code for that

[jbking]

Here's your code with the few lines added for what I mean:

code:

var number, guess : int var count : int := 0 var WhichRandomNumber : int := 1 var TotalRandomNumberCount : int :=3 var my_money : real := 10.00 randint (number, 1, 10) %Picks a random number from 1 to 10 %Can make it pick from any set of numbers by changing the number '10' to any numver you want put repeat (" ", 20), "Welcome to Randy's Guessing Game" put "You are guessing three numbers between 1 and 10.Every guess cost you one dollar.Guess all three numbers before you run out of money and you. You start with $10." put " You have $10 left in your account. One turn costs 1 dollar." put "Can You Guess What It Is?" loop %repeat code until stoped     put "Enter Your Guess"     get guess %user puts in his/her guess     my_money := my_money - 1     count := count + 1     % This gets changed to reflect the combinations possible.     if guess = number then %If user guesses the correct number         put "CORRECT"         if count >= 1 then %number of tries are counted             put "It took you ", count, " tries to get the number" %tells user how many tries it took them         end if         put "The number was ", number %puts what the secert number was         WhichRandomNumber := WhichRandomNumber + 1         if WhichRandomNumber = TotalRandomNumber             put "Congratulations, you are a winner"             exit         else              randint (number, 1, 10) %Picks a random number from 1 to 10             count := 1         end if    elsif guess > number then %if the user inputs a number higher then the secrect number         put "TOO HIGH"     elsif guess < number then %if the user inputs a number lower then the secrect number         put "TOO LOW"     end if     if (my_money=0.00)        put "You are broke, sorry"     end if end loop %end the reapetative loop

So, the main changes are:
Decrement the money and increment the count as the user enters a number
Change the condition when the user gets a number right to see if the number of numbers is done or not.
Check at the end of the loop to see there is still money to play the game

[asianrandy]

there was an error for the put "Congratulations, you are a winner" and put "You are broke, sorry".

[isaiahk9]

you need a "Then" on the ifs above the two lines you pointed out.

[asianrandy]

thanks

i trying to figure out how to show how much money does user have on every question the user guess. i can't figure it out, l'm a noob at this ok.

[jbking]

We were all noobs once, so here is the help on that:

Notice the line:

code:

put "It took you ", count, " tries to get the number"

Which displays the number of times it took someone to get the right answer? Well that has what you need to do for the money part as it should be as simple as adding this line before the "Enter your guess" line:

code:

put "You have $",money," remaining."

Or at least that would be my initial suggestion. While I haven't programmed in Turing I can pick up some basics and translate code from language to language at times pretty easily.
