Newbie question

AsianSensation · **Posted:** Fri Jun 13, 2003 3:56 pm

I am just startin to learn C++, and I am using visual studio 6.0. I've been reading some tutorial off the net, and I tried to make a number guesser thingie, except it's not working, and I don't know whats wrong with it.

code:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main ()
{
int num, guess;

num=rand() % 100;

int i=0;
while (i<10);
{
cin >> guess;

if (guess>num)
{
cout<< "High";
i++;
}
else if (guess<num)
{
cout<< "Low";
i++;
}
else
{
cout<< "Yay!, You got it!";
return 0;
}
}
return 0;
}

so could someone help me?

nvm, I fixed it, but I still don't know what was wrong with the other one.

i think rand() generates a random number between 0 and 1 Confused

You gotta multiply by a 100 then convert it to integer.

code:

num = (int)(rand()*100)

or something like that

I thought rand() gave u a number between 0 and Rand_Max, but that wasn't the problem, the problem is when I run it, I cannot even input. and I don't know y Confused

asian is right is goes from 0 to RAND_MAX
