Need Help adding a counter

[Murphman]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I created a guessing game and i am having trouble adding a counter in. so that when you guess the right number it will show you how many guess's it took you to get that number


What is the problem you are having?
it puts 0 where i want it to put number of guess it took


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
i tried adding a var outside of the for loop and declaring it as 0 and making it so it goes up by one everytime the loop is ran.
Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

Turing:

color (yellow) colorback (red) cls var guess : int var number := Rand.Int (1, 100) var num : int num := 0 for i : 1 .. 100     put "Choose a number between 1 and 100"     get guess     cls     if guess < number then         put "Higher"     elsif guess > number then         put "lower"     end if     if guess = number then         exit         num := num + 1     end if end for put "Congratulations you got it right. It took you ", num, " tries."

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
turing 4.1

Your flow of control is very wrong. The code for incrementing your num variable will never be executed because it occurs immediately after an exit, which will take you out of the loop without executing anything further. It also never happens on incorrect guesses.

All I can say is add more comments and make your variables more descriptive so whoever is reading your code will actually want to read it.. as for counter, you use variable += 1 or variable := variable + 1. And you have to put that inside the loop where you have to guess again. So basically what you can do is

code:

loop     Please enter your guess: " ..     get guess     noOfGuesses += 1

why is it in a for loop, it should be in a regular loop, that will also make it easier to add a counter

Turing:

color (yellow) colorback (red) cls var guess : int var number := Rand.Int (1, 100) var num : int num := 0 loop     put "Choose a number between 1 and 100"     get guess     cls     if guess < number then         put "Higher"     elsif guess > number then         put "lower"     end if         exit when guess = number     num += 1 end loop put "Congratulations you got it right. It took you ", num, " tries."
