Guessing number project.

[Ryan15]

The project works fine with small increment but it exits immediately when guessing from 45 to a large number like 900. why does it do that?

#include "pch.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	//declaring variables
	int Num1,Input,Tries;

	//initialise variables
	Num1 = 50;
	Tries = 0;
	cout << "Please enter a number: ";
	cin >> Input;

	while (Input > Num1)
	{
		Tries++;
		cout << "Try a smaller number." << endl;
		cout << "Please enter a number: ";
		cin >> Input;
	}
	while (Input < Num1)
	{
		Tries++;
		cout << "Try a larger number." << endl;
		cout << "Please enter a number: ";
		cin >> Input;
	}
	if (Input == Num1)
	{
		Tries++;
		cout << "Yes you are correct. You have guessed " << Tries << " times" << endl;
	}
	return 0;
}

Your code has a logical error in it.

If the number input is ever less than Num1, you will NEVER again go through this code:

while (Input > Num1)
	{
		Tries++;
		cout << "Try a smaller number." << endl;
		cout << "Please enter a number: ";
		cin >> Input;
	}

So the very first time the user guesses a number smaller than the correct answer, your code will NEVER be able to handle them guessing a bigger number than the correct answer.

Put another way, once execution gets to line 24, how could it ever go back to line 17?
