>Main returns an int:
Are you in the right thread?

I made some minor changes to the example I posted (changed variable names, added an extra call to rand, since the first number is always low on my machine (probably due to the seed used for srand()).

Code:

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

using namespace std;

int main()
{
   int guess;

   //Seed the pseudo random number generator.  Do this only once.
   srand(time(NULL));
   //Throw away first number generated (always low on my machine)
   int number = rand();

   //Generate a number between 1 and 100
   number = static_cast<int>(1 + rand() / (RAND_MAX + 1.0) * 100);

   do {
      cout<<"Please input a number: " << flush;
      cin>> guess;
      cin.ignore();
      cout<<"You inputted: "<< guess << "\n";
      cin.ignore();

      if ( guess < number ) 
         cout<< " You are too low\n";
      else if ( guess > number ) 
         cout<< " You are too high\n";
   } while (guess != number);
              
   cout<< " Congrats you win!!\n";
     
   cin.get();
}

>Perhaps you are referring to the lack of a return 0?
I hadn't thought of that, I bet that's to what Ideswa indeed was referrring. I normally add the return 0; also just for consistency.

I was trying to get him to say it explicitly. Vague good advice is no better than bad advice.
