Code: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; namespace _._ { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { while (true) { int randomNumber = GenerateNumber(1, 21); int counter = 1; while (true) { Console.Write("Enter a number between 1 and 20(0 to quit):"); int input = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine()); if (input == 0) return; else if (input < randomNumber) { Console.WriteLine("Too low, try again."); ++counter; continue; } else if (input > randomNumber) { Console.WriteLine("Too high, try again."); ++counter; continue; } else { Console.WriteLine("You guessed it! The number was {0}!", randomNumber); if (counter == 1) Console.WriteLine("And you guessed it right away! Bonus points!\n"); else Console.WriteLine("It took you {0} {1}.\n", counter, counter == 1 ? "try" : "tries"); break; } } } } static int GenerateNumber(int min, int max) { Random random = new Random(); return random.Next(min, max); } } } This code is for a guessing game, the user inputs a number and the computer states if its right or wrong no I got the basics but I need to do more, I need an option to ask the user how many games he wants, and to only allow the user 6 tries before he or she loses, also I need the numbers in the range to get smaller and smaller after each guess im so stuck on this, any help would be great I tried Code: if (counter == 6) Console.WriteLine("You have attempted 6 times, you lost"); break; and that didnt work also tried Code: int guess = 0; for( guess = 0; guess < 6; guess++ ) { . . . if( input == random ) break; } if( guess < 6 ) Console.WriteLine("It took you {0} {1}.\n", guess+1, (guess + 1) == 1 ? "try" : "tries"); else Console.WriteLine("You lost."); and that didnt work either
Do not use the continue: statement in the else if (input > randomNumber) and the else if (input < randomNumber) block There is here no reason to use continue since you are not trying to skip past anything. If you write your IF-statements correctly they will not collide somehow, and since you have, dont worry . When trying to solve problems like this, use the debugger, step through the program step by step F11 and you will easily find the solution.
