Thread: Number between 1 and 100 (console app) - Jumping into C++

Hi again,
Looking for some feedback on my code.

Please can someone tell me how to stop infinite loop errors.

If the user types in a string or a char instead of an int.
If the user types in an int instead of a string or char.

How can I stop an infinite loop from occurring in these situations?

I want the program to output a message like:
"Please enter a whole number"
or
"Please enter a Y or N"

Thanks so much!

Code:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;


int randRange(int low, int high)
{
 return rand() % (high - low + 1) + low;
 // rand() gives us an initial random number
 // we want the total number of values in our range (between 1 and our max value) so we add '1'
 // we add 'low' (lowest possible value) to bring our range up from 0
}


int playgame()
{
 cout << "Pick a number between 1 and 100: ";
 int chosen = randRange(1, 100);
 int number = 0;
 for (int attempts = 10; ; attempts--)
 {
  cin >> number;
  if (number < 1 || number > 100)
  {
   cout << "Please make sure to pick your number from between the values 1 and 100\n\n";
  }
  else if (number < chosen)
  {
   cout << "The number is higher, guess again!\n\n";
  }
  else if (number > chosen)
  {
   cout << "The number is lower, guess again!\n\n";
  }
  else if (number == chosen)
  {
   cout << "You guessed the correct number!\n\nThe number was: " << chosen << "!!\n\n";
   cout << "Do you wish to play again? Y/N: ";
   string input;
   cin >> input;
   if (input == "y" || input == "Y")
   {
    cout << "\n\n";
    playgame();
   }
   else
   {
    return 0;
   }
  }
 }
}



int main()
{
 srand(time(NULL));
 playgame();
 return 0;
}
