using radom number with if else if else

[arc_angel14]

#include<iostream>
#include<cmath>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	int answer = rand;
	int rand;
	cout << "How many gumballs are in the machine.\n";
	do{
		cin >> answer;
		if (answer < rand)
		{ 
			cout << "To low" << endl;
		}
		else if (answer > rand)
		{
			cout << "To high" << endl;
		}
		else
		{
			cout << "Good job now u can eat them.\n";
		}
	}while (answer != rand);
	system("pause");
	return 0;
}

error:

Do you know how to call a function? rand is a function (which you should not reuse as a variable name). And you should seed the random number generator at the start of your program, before you generate any numbers. rand(3): pseudo-random number generator - Linux man page

ok i fixed it but how do i get it to clse?

#include<iostream>
#include<cmath>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
	int answer = rand();
	cout << "How many gumballs are in the machine.\n";
	do{
		cin >> answer;
		if (answer < rand())
		{ 
			cout << "To low" << endl;
		}
		else if (answer > rand())
		{
			cout << "To high" << endl;
		}
		else
		{
			cout << "Good job now u can eat them.\n";
		}
	}while (answer != rand());
	system("pause");
	return 0;
}

Work on the logic on paper first. You're not even close at the moment. Search the forum for examples on how to use random numbers as well....this is a frequently discussed subject.
