help with a program

Hi there!

A solution to your problem would be to inverse it. You already know how to generate random numbers, and therefore you can use it to make the computer generate a random number and then check to see if the generated number is equal to the number the user has set. Try it.

Hope this helps!

i was thinking that,but i thought it will generate numbers too high,but of course you can set the largest number it can generate a random number from.
thanks for your help.

Yes, but remember that the computer already "knows" the answer(the user input the number to the computer), your job as a programmer is to hide that. So if the user inputs 78. Then make the computer generate numbers between 1-100. If the user inputs 999, make the computer generate numbers between 900-1000 etc.

Good luck!

well so far i have the computer guessing my number and and me being able to tell it if its right or not,all i need to do is track its guesses and also tell it whether to be higher or lower,the tracking should not be a problem,but how do i go about telling it higher or lower?

ok i need help working out how to tell the computer its too high or too low,

thanks in advance

#include
#include
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int number;
int tries = 0, guess;

cout << "\tWelcom to Guess My Number VS the computer!\n\n";
cout << "Please select a number ";
cin >> number;

char again = 'n';
while (again == 'n')
{
srand(time(0));
int guess = rand() % 100 + 1;

cout << guess;
cout << "\nIs this your number? (y/n)";
cin >> again;
++tries;
}

cout << "\nYes i won!" << tries << " guesses!\n";
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
