Help Needed With Number Guess :D

[Dylan-182]

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

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,

lol yea thats xactly what i was looking for actually but i cant remember how 2 use randint lol but oh well i guess ill figure it out eventually tnx for the help

[zylum]

randomNumber := Rand.Int(1, 10) %genereates a number between 1 and 10 inclusive

[Dylan-182]

ty lol ohh yeaaa thats how u do it hehe

[Dylan-182]

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]

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

mind posting the code so we can check?

I would suggest using randint instead of Rand.Int

randint gives a variable a random number within the range, used like this:

code:

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..

code:

var number := Rand.Int (1, 10)

You can do that too, I just prefer the randint command...

lol yea i posted the game on the submitted prgs page u shuld cehck it out and give me some feedback on it lol

Does your program look anything like this:

Turing:

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

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.
