Thread: Matchstick game

Can anybody gimme an idea as to how this can be done..?

Write a program for a matchstick game being played between the computer and a user.
Your program should ensure that the computer always wins. Rules for the game are as follows:

-There are 21 matchsticks.
-The computer asks the player to pick 1, 2, 3 or 4 matchsticks.
-After the person picks, the computer does its picking.
-Whoever is forced to pick up the last matchstick loses the game.


I tried out some stuff..but as it is..my program was not quite organised..

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
	int matchsticks, total;

	total = 21;

	printf("Enter the number of matchsticks you wanna pick up at once:");
	scanf("%d", &matchsticks);

	matchsticks = total - matchsticks;

	while (matchsticks<= 4)
	{
		printf("\n Computer Turn");
		
	/*	...the rest of the program is mystery! */
