using radom number with if else if else

Code:

---

#include<iostream>
#include<cmath>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
        int answer = rand;
        int rand;
        cout << "How many gumballs are in the machine.\n";
        do{
                cin >> answer;
                if (answer < rand)
                {
                        cout << "To low" << endl;
                }
                else if (answer > rand)
                {
                        cout << "To high" << endl;
                }
                else
                {
                        cout << "Good job now u can eat them.\n";
                }
        }while (answer != rand);
        system("pause");
        return 0;
}

Do you know how to call a function? rand is a function (which you should not reuse as a variable name). And you should seed the random number generator at the start of your program, before you generate any numbers. rand(3): pseudo-random number generator - Linux man page

ok i fixed it but how do i get it to clse?

Code:

---

#include<iostream>
#include<cmath>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
        int answer = rand();
        cout << "How many gumballs are in the machine.\n";
        do{
                cin >> answer;
                if (answer < rand())
                {
                        cout << "To low" << endl;
                }
                else if (answer > rand())
                {
                        cout << "To high" << endl;
                }
                else
                {
                        cout << "Good job now u can eat them.\n";
                }
        }while (answer != rand());
        system("pause");
        return 0;
}

Work on the logic on paper first. You're not even close at the moment. Search the forum for examples on how to use random numbers as well....this is a frequently discussed subject.
