Random Number Generator Interval

[Samuray]

I have this code , so the point is when the pc choose a random number and it's too small/big , it sets to be the edge of the interval of generating a random number.How do i do it ?

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    srand(time(0));
    int number = rand() ;
    int theNumber = 0 ;
    int guess = 0 ;
    int counter = 0 ;
    char choise;
  
     
    do
    {
    cout << " Write your number : ";
    cin >>  guess ;
    cout << endl;
    do
    {

    theNumber = (rand() % guess ) + 1 ;
    counter++;
    cout << "Pc guess is: " << theNumber << endl;
    
    if ( guess > theNumber)
    cout<< "It's too big  "<< endl;
    
    if (guess < theNumber)
    {
    cout << " It's too small ! " << endl;
    }
    cout   << "=======================" <<endl;
    }
    while ( guess != theNumber);
        

    cout << "That's the number ! "<< endl;
    cout << counter << " tries used" << endl ;
    
    cout <<"repeat the program ?(y/n) : ";
    cin >> choise ;
    }
    while (choise == 'y' );
    system("pause");
    return 0 ;
}

You need to generate a random number within a certain range. That range will have a lower and upper boundary.

If the computer guesses too low, you adjust the low boundary.

If it guesses too high, you adjust the high boundary.


To get a number within that range:

int computerguess = rand() % (high - low) + low;

That gets you a number in range [low-high).

thanks for help.
