C++ Guessing game program switch statement that chooses random messages

[stacyd]

I have to have 10 messages for when they win, lose and are asked to play another game that are chosen randomly to print. I am suppose to use a switch statement. So I have input some messages and would like to know if it is the right way to enter a switch statement also how would I get the program to randomly choose one. Also when my program runs if the guess is lower than the number it prints Too high try again and Too lower try again , when the number is too high it just prints Too high try again and when you get the right number it prints tries left too high try again and then all of the messages for when the user wins. How can I get the program to only print the appropriate statements? I also noticed that when the user chooses to play again the tries counter is not resetting with the game how do I fix this?

For your attempt counter problem, you should assign the value 0 to tries inside the first while loop, right at the beginning. You could also move srand(time(NULL)) and rand() % 100 +1; there so you wouldn't have to repeat it at the end of your code. For picking up random output messages, just create a variable that will store another randomly generated number between 1 and 10 and just do switch(variable).

I wish I could be more clear, but my eyes are hurting so bad right now I got to go.

If anyone spots a mistake I might have done, please correct me as I am also a beginner.

Just a beginner here, so I don't know if this would be called a syntax error or logical. Annamarie correct me if I'm wrong please. From my expeirence and I'm 100% sure in this.

There should be no semicolon after if(number<guess)

[fahmankhan75]

I know how to so the tries left but I'm in my iPad and it's hard to type XD let me know once you have this semicolon fixed out. Meanwhile, is it necessary to use a switch statement on tries more then twenty? You can just use else statement. Just to make sure, did you run the program and see if everything is reading under the switch (guess==number)? I'm not so sure if that's right because if the number is 55 then there would be no case that holds true for it and there fore it would skip the switch statement.
