I need help making a number guessing game.

[MisterJoe]

Write your question here.
Hi I have just started coding and was wondering if you could help me out.
It keeps telling me the answer. I also need to make it ask if you want to play again. I would apperaicate some help because I have been working on this for awhile.
also I it has to be between 5-15
and I also need to give the user the opportunity to play the game again or quit.
Thanks

  #include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>          // Needed for random numbers
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int guess, tries=0, randomNum;
    // Will hold the randomly generated integer

	srand(time(0));// Seed the random generator
	randomNum = 5 + rand() % 11; //random number between 5-15
   
do
{
     cout<< "Guess a number between 5 and 15 "<<endl;
    cout<<randomNum<<endl;
	cin>>guess;
	tries++;

    if(randomNum < guess)
       cout<<"Too high, Try Again."<<endl;
    else if(guess<randomNum)
       cout<<"Too low, Try again."<<endl;
    else
       cout << "\nCongratulations. you guessed the number and it took you \n " << tries << " time to find out!\n";

}while (guess != randomNum);

cin.ignore();
cin.get();



}

Random number is displayed because you do so on line 17.

And I also need to give the user the opportunity to play the game again or quit.

To do this you have to wrap the

randomNum = 5 + rand() % 11; //random number between 5-15
   
do
{
     cout<< "Guess a number between 5 and 15 "<<endl;
     cin>>guess;
     tries++;

    if(randomNum < guess)
       cout<<"Too high, Try Again."<<endl;
    else if(guess<randomNum)
       cout<<"Too low, Try again."<<endl;
    else
       cout << "\nCongratulations. you guessed the number and it took you \n " << tries << " time to find out!\n";

}while (guess != randomNum);

part into another loop for example :

bool done = false;

while(!done)
{
    //your number guessing code here

   cout << "Another try? (Y/N)? : ";
   char ch;
   cin >> ch;
   if(ch == 'N') done = true;
}

cin.ignore();
cin.get();

thanks also it keeps showing the answer. How would I fix that?

I keeps showing me the random number. How would I fix that?

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>          // Needed for random numbers
#include <ctime>           // For the time function
#include <string>         //for a string
using namespace std;


int main()
{
	int guess, tries=0, randomNum;
    // Will hold the randomly generated integer
    char again;
	srand(time(0));// Seed the random generator
	randomNum = 5 + rand() % 11; //random number between 5-15
   
    
do
{
    randomNum = 5 + rand() % 11;
     cout<< "Guess a number between 5 and 15 "<<endl;
    cout<<randomNum<<endl;
	cin>>guess;
	tries++;

    if(randomNum < guess)
       cout<<"Too high, Try Again."<<endl;
    else if(guess<randomNum)
       cout<<"Too low, Try again."<<endl;
    else
       cout << "\nCongratulations. you guessed the number and it took you \n " << tries << " time to find out!\n";
    cout<<"Do you want to play again? (Y/N)";
    cin>>again;
}while(again == 'Y' || again == 'y');
while (guess != randomNum);

cin.ignore();
cin.get();
}

just delete this line form your code
cout<<randomNum<<endl;

[MisterJoe]

I just figured it out. I Feel so dumb for putting it there.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib> // Needed for random numbers
#include <ctime> // For the time function
#include <string> //for a string
using namespace std;


int main()
{
int guess, tries=0, randomNum;
// Will hold the randomly generated integer
srand(time(0));// Seed the random generator
randomNum = 5 + rand() % 11;//random number between 5-15


do
{
cout<< "Guess a number between 5 and 15 "<<endl;
cin>>guess;
tries++;
if(randomNum < guess)
cout<<"Too high, Try Again."<<endl;
else if(guess<randomNum)
cout<<"Too low, Try again."<<endl;
else
cout << "\nCongratulations. you guessed the number and it took you \n " << tries << " time to find out!\n";

}while (guess != randomNum);
bool done = false;

while(!done)
{
//your number guessing code here

cout << "Another try? (Y/N)? : ";
char ch;
cin >> ch;
if(ch == 'N') done = true;
if(ch == 'n') done = true;
}
cin.ignore();
cin.get();
}

you should put your do{/* . . . */}while(guess != randomNum);
inside

//...
while(!done)
{
     //except you have to take these 2 lines out of your while so only one random number 
     //is generated for each guessing game
     randomNum = 5 + rand() % 11;
     cout<< "Guess a number between 5 and 15 "<<endl;

     time = 0; //also null the times each time you repeat the game

     /* your do while goes here */ 

    cout << "Another try? (Y/N)? : ";
    char ch;
    cin >> ch;
    if(ch == 'N' || ch == 'n') done = true;
}

cin.ignore();
cin.get();

so that you can repeat your own loop as many times as you want. With current code you generate new random number every time you either guess it or don't.
