Thread: randomizing?

Yeah ok but i just changed cerin's code so it would work he can do all the minor adjustments.I found this code from awhile ago maybe it will be usefull to cerin.

Code:

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

int main()
{
	srand((unsigned)time(0));  // random number seed
	int numberToGuess = rand()%5; // generate random number between 1-5
	bool win = false;
	int guessNumber = 0;


	for (int numberGuesses = 0; numberGuesses < 5; numberGuesses++)
	{
		cout << "The computer has generate a random number try and guess it " <<endl;
		cout << "Guess : ";
		cin >> guessNumber;

		if (guessNumber == numberToGuess)
		{
			cout << "Correct "<<endl;
			win = true;
			break;
		}
		else if (guessNumber > numberToGuess)
		{
			cout << "To high try a lower number"<<endl;
			win = false;
		}
		else if (guessNumber < numberToGuess)
		{
			cout << "To low try a higher number "<<endl;
			win = false;
		}
	}

	if (!win)
	{
		cout << "You have lost the game try again "<<endl;
	}

	cin.get();
	return 0;
}

Trust me it does matter. Its easier to read, and when your using the [ PHP ]. It color codes it so its easier to tell whats, a comment, whats a function, ect.

I really hope this helps...

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>


using namespace std;


int main()
{
    //First, we seed the random number generator based on time with srand
    //so that we don't get the same random numbers every time
    srand( time(NULL) );

    //Now we assign a variable to a random number
    int foo = rand();

    //Now we assign a variable to a random number between 1-10
    int bar = (rand() % 10) + 1;

    //Now we print 10 different random numbers between 1- 100
    for( int x = 0; x < 10; x++ )
    {
        bar = (rand() % 100) + 1;
        cout <<bar <<endl;
    }

    cout <<'\n' <<endl;

    //Now, we have them guess a number between 1 - 10
    int number = (rand() % 10) + 1;
    int guess = 0;

    while( guess != number )
    {
        cout <<"Guess my number(between 1 - 10): ";
        cin >>guess;

        //Is guess between 1-10?
        if( guess < 1 || guess > 10 )
            cout <<"I said between 1-10, try again dude." <<endl;
        //Is it greater than our number?
        else if( guess > number )
            cout <<"Too high, guess lower." <<endl;
        //Is it lower than our number?

        else if( guess < number )
            cout <<"Too low, guess higher." <<endl;
    }

    //Since we've left the loop, we know they guessed correctly
    //...or there was a freak of nature, but we will ignore that case
    cout <<"You got it! Thanks for playing." <<endl;

}

This code is extremely straightforward, and if you still have questions after reading the FAQ, this post, and all the previous posts concerning the generation of random numbers and seeding the random generator, maybe programming isn't your bag, dude.
