Question

Write a program in C++ coding that generates a random number between 1 and 500 and asks the user to guess what the number is. If the user’s guess is higher than the random number, the program should display “Too high, try again.” If the user’s guess is lower than the random number, the program should display “Too low, try again.”

The program should use a loop that repeats until the user correctly guesses the random number.

Count the number of guesses that the user makes. When the user correctly guesses the random number, the program should display a user-friendly message and the number of guesses.

(HINT: Design your code with an If/Else structure nested inside of a loop. You decide which loop structure is best to use.)

C++ code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
    //initializing user_guess,guess_count and number
    int user_guess,guess_count,number;
    //for getting different random values
    srand(time(0));
        //initializing guess_count
        guess_count=0;
        //obtaining number from 1 to 500
        number=1+rand()%500;
        //asking to Guess a number
        cout<<"Guess a number from 1 to 500: ";
        //accepting user_guess
        cin>>user_guess;
        //checking if number is not equal to user_guess
        while(number!=user_guess){
            //if user_guess is low
            if(user_guess<number){
                //printing low
                cout<<"Too low, try again.";
                //incrementing guess_count
                guess_count++;
            }
            //if user_guess is high
            else if(user_guess>number){
                //printing high
                cout<<"Too high, try again.";
                //incrementing guess_count
                guess_count++;
            }
            //accepting user_guess
            cin>>user_guess;
        }
        //printing number of user_guess
        cout<<"Correct,Number of guesses taken is "<<guess_count<<endl;
    return 0;
}
