Thread: how to get names? - C++

>>How do I get the program to request for a player's name declare a std::string object to hold the name, then call getline() to get the name from the keyboard. >>How can I keep track of the user's guesses with a counter declare an integer object to be the counter then increment it each time the user makes a guess. >>third question declare int counters for the number of ...

#include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> #include <cmath> #include <ctime> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { srand(time(0)); int randNum = rand() % 100 + 1; // Generates random number between 1 and 100 int num = 0; int wins = 0; int losses = 0; int tries = 0; string uname; cout <<"Please enter your name...

Your conditionals are a little wacky. In particular this one: if (num < randNum) cout <<uname<<""<<"Your number was too low-please try again!"<< endl; { wins = wins ++; break; } I'm reasonably sure you don't realize what it's actually doing, which is always incrementing wins and breaking. A little whitespace and extra braces should show you how the compiler sees this...

cplusplus Syntax ( Toggle Plain Text ) #include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> #include <cmath> #include <ctime> #include <string> using namespace std; int main ( ) { srand ( static_cast<unsigned int> ( time ( 0 ) ) ) ; int randNum = rand ( ) % 100 + 1 ; int num = 0 ; int ...

line 48 needs to be inside the do loop, probably just above line 34.

ancient dragon-how do i put my source code in tags?

>how do i put my source code in tags? Start by being more perceptive. There's a button on the extended editor that adds code tags for you, and the text editor itself has a permanent watermark with instructions on how to use them.

#include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> #include <cmath> #include <ctime> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { srand ( static_cast<unsigned int> ( time ( 0 ) ) ); int randNum = rand() % 100 + 1; int num = 0; int wins = 0; int losses = 0; int guess=0; string uname; cout<<"Please enter your name: "; getline ( cin, uname ); ...

I have placed the guess++; within the loop and it works, just now gottoa work on the program keeping a tallie as to much much times it prints out "Your number was too high-please try again!"vs "Your number was too low-please try again!".

Got it.....thanks for all assistance-finally figured it all out. not alot of good c++ instructors/professors out there....thanks.
