Question

Write a program with a method that plays the guess a number game. The program should allow the user to pick a number between 1 and 1000 in his head. The method should guess the user's number in a minimal amount of attempts. The method should ask the user "is the number greater than or less than the number " and the program gives a particular number. The user in some way just inputs (higher or lower) or (greater than or less than). There also has to be a way for the user to say the number has just been guessed. Of course, the user cannot answer incorrectly or change the number midstream. Note - if written efficiently (and for passing credit), the method should be able to guess any number in 10 or less attempts. The final date/time to submit this assignment is Friday, April 22nd at midnight.

Explanation / Answer

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
   // your code goes here
   int start=1,end=1000;
   int mid;
   cout<<"Please select a number and remember it."<<endl;
   char ch;
   while(start<=end)
   {
   mid = (start+end)/2;
   cout<<"Is "<<mid<<" the number?(Enter Y/N):";
   cin>>ch;
   if(ch=='Y')
   {
   cout<<"The number is "<<mid<<endl;
   break;
   }
   cout<<"Is "<<mid<<" greater than or lesser than the number?(Enter G for greater/L for lesser):";
   cin>>ch;
   if(ch=='G')
   {
   end=mid;
   }
   else
   {
   start=mid;
   }
   }
   return 0;
}
