Question

C++. Write a program that generates a random number between 5 and 20 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 while keeping a count of the number of guesses the user makes until the user correctly guesses the random number. Then the program should display the number of guesses along with the following message Congratulations. You figured out my number.  

The algorithm should provide the user the opportunity to play the game again or quit.

This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeCorrect implementation of random number in range of 5 to 15

Answer 1

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   int randomnum, userguess, count=0;
   srand(time(0));
   randomnum = rand() % (20-5)+5; //random number between 5 and 20
   cout << "Enter your guess :"<<endl;
  
   do
   {
       cin>>userguess;
       count++;

       if (userguess>randomnum)
           cout << "Too high. Try again"<<endl;
       else if (userguess<randomnum)
           cout << "Too low. Try again"<<endl;
       else
       {
           cout <<"Congratulations. you figured out my number"<<endl;
           cout<<"The number of guesses is :"<<count;
       }
   } while (userguess!=randomnum);

   return 0;
}
