Q: Using the code below, analyze the strategy of guessing from at least three diffe

The strategy is that it will randomly pick a number from 1 to 100. The strategy is that you start from number 50 and then check the message and based on that continue with the search. if it is in upper half then take 75 as the next guess and based on that continue. you can make the game easier with the above approach.

Question

Using the code below, analyze the strategy of guessing from at least three different users and compare them in a few paragraphs. How does this strategy work within the algorithm you developed? What would you change within your algorithm or code to make the game easier or harder, based on this information?

Explanation / Answer

The strategy is that it will randomly pick a number from 1 to 100.
The strategy is that you start from number 50 and then check the message and based on that continue with the search.
if it is in upper half then take 75 as the next guess and based on that continue.

you can make the game easier with the above approach.
