I am making that guessing game someone said to make but for some reason it won't appear.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
    int n, g, t; 
    n = 43;
        
    cout << "Welcome to the guessing game! \nThe number I am thinking of is between 1 and 100.";
    cout << "Enter the number you wish to guess.\n";
    cin >> g;
    
    while (g != n) {
    cout << "Guess again! You have attempted to guess " << t << " times.";
    }    
}

Well, what do you want to loop? It's not just the "you were wrong" message, is it?

zero771 · Nov 30th, 2005, 5:57 PM

well its a guessing game, so its supposed to say you are wrong guess again

LOI Kratong · Nov 30th, 2005, 5:59 PM

the input is not in the loop so it will just repeat the message continuously unless the first guess is correct

oooh! i forgot to add the guess factor.... oops

jayme · Nov 30th, 2005, 6:02 PM

here are my "hints":

1. Give an integer value to t
2. the program will repeat

(Toggle Plain Text)

    while (g != n) {
    cout << "Guess again! You have attempted to guess " << t << " times."; }

until the number is guessed, look over this and post back how you will guess the number a second time.

3. include your 't' integer in that loop.

okay i added the guess factor... it is still not appearing on startup

(Toggle Plain Text)

 #include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
    int n, g, t; 
    n = 43;
    t = 5;
        
    cout << "Welcome to the guessing game! \nThe number I am thinking of is between 1 and 100.";
    cout << "Enter the number you wish to guess.\n";
    cin >> g;
    
    while (g != n) {
    cout << "Guess again! You have attempted to guess " << t << " times.";
    cin >> g;
    }
    
    cout << "Congratulations! You have guessed the correct number: " << n << ".\n";
    cout << "Thank you for participating in my guessing game.";
            
    return 0;
        
}

the 5 by the way is just a random number (because i still have to learn how to read/write a file)

get on msn, i added you.. i dont understand what you mean by appearing on startup. Works fine for me, except that you need to fix a few little problems, and the t = t +1 is missing

zero771 · Nov 30th, 2005, 6:10 PM

once i figure out how to get online on msn... i will
it is rejecting my logon, says something about my internet connection....

First of all, what's with the one-letter variables? You should know what a variable contains based on its name.

Next, you're not allocating anything to g. For all you know, it might have the number 43 already in it.
