bugged guessing game

[ssr]

hello ever1, I just made a guessing game, however, there is a bug in it, that is whenever you guess the number right the first time, it asks you twice if you want to continue, it is caused by the loop, I think. can any1 help me?

Ok...your code really is buggy.

You have a lot of redundancy in it, for example

code:

if strintok (answer) = true then

You don't need the "= true" part. strintok is a boolean function, thus it returns true/false as it is...

code:

count := count + 3

If you're resetting 'count', just use "count := 3" instead.

And then again, why you have 'count' is a mystery, you're using a for loop thus the number of times it loops is already counted.

When an answer is guessed correctly, before the count extinguishes, one is prompted with the desicion to exit or not. This doesn't actually work...if you want to exit, it still keeps you in the main loop.

My suggestion for this is to reconsider how you've structured your programme. If you're going to use 'count' then don't bother with the for loop. It adds an extra level of unnecassary complexity to your programme that could quite simply be made without it.

Here's a streamlined and WORKING version of your code. I rewrote it but tried to use as much recycled code from your program as I could. All I ask is that if you are handing this code in you CAREFULLY look it over and make sure you UNDERSTAND my code. Good luck!

code:

var answer : string var randnum : int var guess : int loop     randint (randnum, 1, 10)     put "I've selected a number between 1 to 10."     put "You have three chances to guess it right!  " ..     for count : 1 .. 3         get answer         if strintok (answer) then             guess := strint (answer)         else             put "Please input an integer:  " ..         end if         if guess = randnum then             put "You are so lucky! It is ", randnum, "!"         elsif guess > randnum then             put "It's too big. You have ", 3 - count, " tries left!"         else             put "It's too small. You have ", 3 - count, " tries left!"         end if     end for     if guess not= randnum then         put "You have failed. The answer was ", randnum, "!"     end if     put "Do you want to give it another shot? (yes/no)  " ..     get answer     if answer = "yes" or answer = "Yes" or answer = "y" or answer = "Y" then         cls     else         exit     end if end loop

err ur code would crash if they give an invalid input
