Supposed to be an easy challenge that I found in a Youtube tutorial (YouTube). I'm very new to C so its probably a simple mistake but i just can't get it to work. The program is intended to function like this:
1. Print out 3 random dice numbers and a total
2. Take input from the user as to whether the next 3 rolls will produce a sum that is higher/lower/same as previous roll (or quit)
3. Print out 3 more random dice numbers and a total
4. Let the user know if their prediction was correct or allow them to exit the game
5. If the user stays, back to step 2
The intended output is this:
OR this:Code:You have rolled:
1 1 2
Your total is: 4
Will your next total be higher, lower or the same (q to quit)? (h/l/s/q): h
You have rolled:
3 5 3
Your total is: 11
YOUR PREDICTION WAS CORRECT!!
But this is the output im getting with the code above:Code:You have rolled:
1 1 2
Your total is: 4
Will your next total be higher, lower or the same (q to quit)? (h/l/s/q): q
You have rolled:
3 5 3
Your total is: 11
Congratulations on completing the game!
Im using codeblocks as an IDE and I tried the debugging function. The program seems to be skipping the "if" nest entirely except for the "wrong prediction part".Code:You have rolled:
1 1 2
Your total is: 4
Will your next total be higher, lower or the same (q to quit)? (h/l/s/q): h
You have rolled:
3 5 3
Your total is: 11
YOUR PREDICTION WAS WRONG!!
Will your next total be higher, lower or the same (q to quit)? (h/l/s/q): l
You have rolled:
2 3 4
Your total is: 9
YOUR PREDICTION WAS WRONG!!
Will your next total be higher, lower or the same (q to quit)? (h/l/s/q): q
You have rolled:
1 6 5
Your total is: 12
YOUR PREDICTION WAS WRONG!!
First post on this forum so sorry if its too long or badly formatted. Thanks :)
