Thread: Help with number guessing game

I am having trouble with this lab. This lab needs to consist of a do while statement and the functions need to be compiled and tested with at least 5 values. I can compile it and test it but the code is the problem.

The directions of this lab is:
http://astro.temple.edu/~rl/Lab%20Assignment%204.pdf

So far I have:

Code:

// Include standard header files
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
        
// Create symbolic constants
#define ERROR_DIFFERENCE 0.00001
#define MAXIMUM_TRIES 100 
#define MOST_TRY_PROMPT "Enter the maximum number of iterations to perform"
#define X_GUESS_PROMPT "Enter your initial guess for x:"
#define GUESS_ERROR "Initial guess out of range. Halting calculation. Try another guess"
#define PROGRAMMER_NAME "Dimple Gandhi"
        
int getInitialGuess()
void compute_and_report(int most_tries, double my_guess);
        
int main()
{       
        int most_tries; 
        double my_guess;
        most_tries = getMostTries( );
        my_guess = getInitialGuess( );
        compute_and_report( most_tries, my_guess );
        
        return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
        
getTries()
{
        int Tries
        printf( "%s.\n", MOST_TRY_PROMPT );
        scanf( "%d", most_tries );
        printf( "The number of tries is %d.\n\n" )
        return most_tries;
}       

double getInitialGuess()
{
        double my_guess;
        printf( "Programmer: %s.\n", PROGRAMMER_NAME );
        printf( "%s.\n", X_GUESS_PROMPT );
        scanf( "%d", &my_guess);
        printf( "The number entered into \"my_guess\" is %d. \n\n", my_guess );
        
        return my_guess;
}
        
        
{
        int counter; /* interation counter */
        double my_guess; /* user entered value guess */
        double root_calculated; /* newly calculated value of X */
        double test_for_pos; /* quantity */
        double abs_diff; /* absolute difference between root and guess */
        int most_tries; /* maximum number of iterations we'll try to converge */
        
        test_for_pos = pow(10 - 3*my_guess,2)
        root_calculated = pow(test_for_pos,0.2)

Code:

getTries()
{
        int Tries
        printf( "%s.\n", MOST_TRY_PROMPT );
        scanf( "%d", most_tries );
        printf( "The number of tries is %d.\n\n" )
        return most_tries;
}

Are you sure it compiles? And if it does, are you sure you're pasting the code you're compiling?
