Guess number game (simple)

Hi programmers!

I'm new at c++ and i want help about a simple guessing number game.

I want:

• the player has 3 tries (the number is between 0 and 20)
• if player doesnt guess the right number, then the programm will close
• if the player guess the right number then print "congrats" and ask the player if he want a new game.

I post the code i have already write. Because i am new, any help are welcome!

Code:

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


main()


{     


      int x;
      int guess; 
      int tries;
      char answer;
      
      do
      x = rand();
      while ( x < 0 || x > 20 );


      tries=0;


do      
      do


        do
        printf("Put your guess from 0 to 20 please;");
        scanf("%d",&guess);
        while ( guess < 0 || guess > 20 );
        
        tries=tries+1
        
        if (guess==x)
           printf ("Congratulations, you guess the right number. Do you want play again?");
           scanf("%s", answer);
        else 
            printf ("wrong number!");
  
      while tries=3


while (answer!=no);


}

Thank you very much.

You should start by adding ALL the braces you seem to have deleted from the source code.

python works off the indentation of blocks - C does not.

I'm sorry. You have right.


I wrote new code.

Code:

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


int main()
{
 int random;
 int usersGuess;
 
 printf ("Welcome to the game\n\n"
"I will generate a number between 1 and 20\n\n"
"and you have 3 chances to guess it\n\n");
   
    do
    random = rand();
    while ( random < 0 || random > 20 );


        
   printf ("Guess a number between 0 and 20");
   printf ("Input guess : ");
   scanf("%d",&usersGuess);
   int attempts = 1;
   while (attempts <3)
   {
    if (usersGuess > random || usersGuess < random)
    {
     printf ("GUESS AGAIN\n");
     printf ("Input guess : ");
     scanf("%d",&usersGuess); 
     attempts++;
    }
    else
    {
    attempts = 3;
    printf ("YOU WON\n");
    }
   }


 return(0);
}

Now, the only change i want is

• if the player doesn't guess the right number, then programm print the right number and close and

• if the player guess the right number, then will be asked if he want a new game or not.

Thank you very much.

Have a go at your additiomal requirements. You can at least add the lines that output the extra messages.

Make up your mind: are you going to write C or C++?
If you are going to write C++, then go re-learn basic I/O.
If not, then this should be moved to the C board.
While you're at it, improving indentation would help a lot.
