Thread: Guess a 4 int array, with how many are in the right and wrong positions

For an assignment I have to create a random array of four integers, and then I have to allow someone to input up to ten guesses to guess the array in the correct order. I also need to be able to display whatever was generated by inputting -1. Finally, after every guess I have to tell the inputter how many of the guessed integers are correct and in the correct position, as well as how many integers are correct but not in the correct position.

So far I've been able to get the random array to generate properly, but inputting negative one has no effect, although if I input it four times in a row I get to my 'lose' condition. Also, it only seems to allow the user to input 4 guesses and not 10 before going straight to the 'lose' condition. I need to get these issues sorted out before I can move on to showing how many guesses are right etc.

Anyways here's the code I have so far, any help is very much appreciated.

Code:

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

int main()
{
 srand(time (NULL));
 int pick[4];
 int guess[4];
 int tries=0;
 int loop;
 int rp=0;
 int wp=0;
 int flag[4];
 
 
 for(int i=0; i<10; i++)
 {
     pick[i] = rand() %10;
 }

 

 printf("\t***Hello Mr. or Mrs.(or Ms. I guess) Number Guesser!***\n");
 printf("Guess four positive integers, you have ten tries to complete the code.\n");
 printf("Enter negative one (-1) four times if you want to see the code, you naughty cheater you.\n");
 printf("If you guess correctly, there will be cake!\n");        
 printf("What is your first guess?\n\n");
 
 
 scanf("%d %d %d %d", &guess[0], &guess[1], &guess[2], &guess[3]);
 tries++;
 
 if(guess<0)
    {
        printf("The answer is\t:\t%d%d%d%d", pick[0], pick[1], pick[2], pick[3]);
        return 0;
    }
 

    if(pick == guess)
        {
        printf("You win! However, about that whole cake thing, it was a lie. Sorry.");
        }
 
    else if(pick != guess)
        {
        printf("\nThe code was : %d%d%d%d\nYou lose, dummy!\n\n",pick[0], pick[1], pick[2], pick[3]);
        }
 
 

   
      
 return 0;
}

Ok I've gotten everything up and running other that the functions that check and report to the user if any guesses are correct and whether they are in the correct positions. That's what my variables wp and rp are going to be for. Any tips on how to get something like that running?

Code:

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

int main()
{
 srand(time (NULL));
 int pick[4];
 int guess[4];
 int loop;
 int rp=0;
 int wp=0;
 int flag[4];
 
 
        for(int i=0; i<4; i++) // selects a random set of 4 integers
                {
                pick[i] = rand() %9;
                }

 

 printf("\t***Hello Mr. or Mrs.(or Ms. I guess) Number Guesser!***\n");
 printf("Guess four positive integers, you have ten tries to complete the code.\n");
 printf("Enter negative one (-1) as your first entry if you want to see the code, you naughty cheater you.\n");
 printf("If you guess correctly, there will be cake!\n");        
 
 for(loop=0;loop<10;loop++)
 {
 printf("\nWhat is your guess?\n\n");
 printf("You have %d correct numbers in the correct place\n\n", rp);
 printf("You have %d correct numbers in the wrong place\n\n", wp);
 
 
 scanf("%d %d %d %d", &guess[0], &guess[1], &guess[2], &guess[3]);
 
 
 
 if(guess[0]<0)
        {
        printf("\nThe answer is\t:\t%d%d%d%d\n", pick[0], pick[1], pick[2], pick[3]);
        }
 

                else if(pick[0] == guess[0] && pick[1] == guess[1] && pick[2] == guess[2] && pick[3] == guess[3])
                {
                printf("You win! However, about that whole cake thing, it was a lie. Sorry.");
                break;
                }
 
                        else if(pick[0] != guess[0] && pick[1] != guess[1] && pick[2] != guess[2] && pick[3] != guess[3] && loop==9)
                        {
                        printf("\nThe code was : %d %d %d %d\nYou lose, dummy!\n\n",pick[0], pick[1], pick[2], pick[3]);
                        }
 
        
 }
        
         return 0;
}
