I am trying to calculate the various combinations that you could have. Matched, Not-Matched, Not-In. I had the function:But when you pick say: Blue Blue Blue Blue, and Blue is only in the first match, the other 3 Blue's say that they are Not a match, but in the combo. This is confusing to people who do not expect that. So I tried to write another fucton for this and it was getting very long using if/else so I scrapped that idea.Code://Local variables int w = 0; char x[4]; //szMatch is users choice char y[4]; //total is computers choice CString matches=""; //Get an array of the colors to check each letter for a match while(w<4) { x[w]=szMatch.GetAt(w); //Sets x[w] with users choice colors y[w]=total.GetAt(w); //Sets y[w] with computers choice colors w++; } //reset w to zero so we can use it again w=0; while(w<4){ if(x[w]==y[w]) //We have a match matches=matches+"I "; else if(x[w]==y[0]||x[w]==y[1]||x[w]==y[2]||x[w]==y[3]) //Not a match, but in the combo matches=matches+"O "; else //Default, no match matches=matches+"X "; w++;}
Anyone have a better way to do this?
