Question

Need to write a c program

• Program prints a message telling the user to push a key to start the game.

• Once in game, output tells the player which key to push. The key to press should be determined randomly.

  • Game runs continuously until the user reaches a loose condition.

    • A wrong key is pressed

Answer 1

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
        // ask user to press any key to start the game
        printf("Push any key to start the game: ");
        char c;
        scanf("%c",&c);
        srand(time(NULL));
        
        // use a while loop to randomly print characters
        while(1){
                
                int r = rand();
                char random = 'a' + (r%26);
                printf("%c\n",random);
                
                // accept input char
                char input;
                scanf(" %c",&input);
                
                // if they are different break
                if(input!=random){
                        printf("You lost. Wrong key pressed !!");
                        // break out of the loop
                        break;
                }
        }
        return 0;
}

Code output:

==================

Code along with output and screenshot has been attached.

Note: In line 22, you may see the scanf has " %c" i.e. space before %c, this is done to read extra newline character that may be present.

For any query comment.
