Is this a loop situation?

Hi guys, im new to any kind of coding and am loving it. Ive been writing a simple little number guessing game, and have a question. The question is in the code. Thanks

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

using namespace std;
		
int main() {
 
	//SetConsoleTitle("The Guessing Game!");
	int guess;                     
        int clue;
	
	
	 cout << "Hello Internet\n";
	 cout << "Today, we are going to play the Guessing Game!\n";
	 cout << "\n";
	 cout << "You are going to pick a number from 1-100 and if you need help\n" << "Id be  happy to give you clues!\n" << "\n";
	 
	 cout << "Pick a number: "; 
	 cin >> guess;
	 cout << "\n";
	 cin.ignore();                       
  
		if ( guess < 74 ) { 
                cout << "Sorry, you guessed wrong!\n";
		cout << "Would you like a hint?\n" << "\n" << "\n" << "<y/n>";
		char clue;
		cin >> clue;
			if ( clue =='y' ) {
			cout << "You guessed low, sorry! Try again!\n";
			}
			else {
			// How do I send the user back up to cin >> guess at the earlier point in the code?
			}

        }

        else if ( guess > 74 ) {            
        cout << "Sorry, you guessed wrong!\n";
		cout << "Would you like a hint?\n" << "\n" << "\n" << "<y/n>";
		char clue;
		cin >> clue;
	    }

        else {
        cout << "You won the game!\n";    
        }

  cin.get();
 
  return 0;
}

Please ignore alignment lol. Does not look like this is Editor.

I am better coder then you...I was attacked in anotjher fred, i wont offer help to anyone except elysia

Don't mix spaces and tabs and... use a do...while loop.
That should solve it all.

Code:

 int max_nb_games = 100;
 bool stopgame = false;
 while( !stopgame && game_i < max_nb_games) {// !stopgame is equivalent to 'stopgame == false'

     cout << "Pick a number: "; 
     cin >> guess;
     cout << "\n";
     cin.ignore();                       
     
     if ( guess < 74 ) { 
	 cout << "Sorry, you guessed wrong!\n";
	 cout << "Would you like a hint?\n" << "\n" << "\n" << "<y/n>";
	 char clue;
	 cin >> clue;
	 if ( clue =='y' ) {
	     cout << "You guessed low, sorry! Try again!\n";
	 }
	 else {
	     stopgame = true; // stops the game
	 }
     }

     else if ( guess > 74 ) {            
	 cout << "Sorry, you guessed wrong!\n";
	 cout << "Would you like a hint?\n" << "\n" << "\n" << "<y/n>";
	 char clue;
	 cin >> clue;
     }

     else {
	 cout << "You won the game!\n";
	 stopgame = true; // stops the game	 
     }

     game_i++;

 } // end while

The user input block is simply repeated 'max_nb_games' times until the bool is false.

You should not declare 'clue' as an 'int' earlier in the game, since you re-declare it as a 'char' lateron.
Note the beautiful indentation ;-)

I don't think it's a bad thing, but a better idea might be to rename the "char clue" to something else, to resolve ambiguity.

lol, ive never used any loops yet, but i figured it out and is pretty simple. I used with my original code, but thanks for the example markzweers. I dont know a lot of the functions you used. Im still very new =)

but my game is done!!!

I guess the next fun thing to do with it, would be to have it randomly generate the number your supposed to guess, every time you start it up. Is that possible? I assume. How would you do something like that?

Haha you might use this:

Quantum Random Bit Generator

But there exist functions to create pseudo-random numbers : rand() and srand()
