how to loop properly

[sunwooz]

I'm new to this, so i'm still learning!

I'm trying to get the user to guess the number the computer is thinking and give the appropriate response and loop.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int guess;
int number;
number = 4;

cout << "Try to guess what number I'm thinking of!\n";
cin >> guess;

if ( guess != number)
{
cout << "I'm sorry, try again!" << endl;
cin >> guess;
}
else ( guess == number);
{
cout << "Aww shucks, you guessed right!" << endl;
}
system ("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

ps: how do have the computer randomize the number for the "number" value.?

Check out http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/control/#while

For randomization, use srand() and rand():

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

cout << "Try and guess what number I'm thinking1 (1-10)\n";
cin >> guess;
number = 4;
cout << "You think it's " << 4 << "?\n";

while ( number != guess )
{
cout << "You got it wrong! Try again but you'll get it wrong again anywayz!\n";
cin >> guess;
}
cout << "Awww shucks! You got me! Here's your prize!\n";
cout << "You receive 280 gold from scoundrel.\n";

system ("PAUSE");
return 0;
