What is wrong with My Program? I am using C++. It compiles, but doesn't run right.?

The task is to modify a program that guesses numbers by doing:





if diff is %26gt;= 50, program outputs message saying number guessed is too high (if guess is %26gt; number) and too low(if guess is %26lt; number).





it goes on through if diff is %26gt;= 30 and %26lt;50; if diff %26gt;=15 and %26lt;30; if diff is %26gt;= 0 and %26lt;15.





Here is what i have so far:





#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;





#include %26lt;ctime%26gt;


using namespace std;





int main()


{


int number,num_guess[5],diff, counter, picked_num, time;


bool finished;


diff = abs(number - num_guess[5]);





finished = false;








{


cout%26lt;%26lt;"Enter a number that is %26lt; or = 0, and %26gt;100."%26lt;%26lt;endl;


cin%26gt;%26gt;num_guess[5];


counter = 5;}





if (diff == 0)


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;"Correct!!!!"%26lt;%26lt;endl;


finished = true;


}








while(diff %26gt;= 50)


{


if (num_guess[5] %26gt; number)


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;"VERY HIGH!!"%26lt;%26lt;endl;


cout%26lt;%26lt;"Guess Again."%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}





else if (num_guess[5] %26lt; number)


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;"VERY LOW!!"%26lt;%26lt;endl;


cout%26lt;%26lt;"Guess Again."%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}





else


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;""%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}


}


while((diff %26gt;= 30)%26amp;%26amp;(diff %26lt; 50))





{


if (num_guess[5] %26gt; number)


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;"HIGH!!"%26lt;%26lt;endl;


cout%26lt;%26lt;"Guess Again."%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}


else if (num_guess[5] %26lt; number)


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;"LOW!!"%26lt;%26lt;endl;


cout%26lt;%26lt;"Guess Again."%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}





else


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;""%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}


}





while ((diff %26gt;= 15)%26amp;%26amp;(diff %26lt; 30))


{


if (num_guess[5] %26gt; number)


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;"Moderatley High!"%26lt;%26lt;endl;


cout%26lt;%26lt;"Guess Again."%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}


else if (num_guess[5] %26lt; number)


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;" Moderatley Low"%26lt;%26lt;endl;


cout%26lt;%26lt;"Guess Again."%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}


else


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;""%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}


}





while ((diff %26gt;= 0)%26amp;%26amp;(diff %26lt; 15))


{


if (num_guess[5] %26gt; number)


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;"Somewhat High."%26lt;%26lt;endl;


cout%26lt;%26lt;"Guess Again."%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}


else if (num_guess[5] %26lt; number)


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;"Somewhat Low."%26lt;%26lt;endl;


cout%26lt;%26lt;"Guess Again."%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}


else


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;""%26lt;%26lt;endl;


}


}


system("PAUSE");


return 0;


}

1) num_guess shouldn't be an array. (Get rid of the [5] following it.


2) Don't calculate diff until AFTER getting the value of num_guess.


3) you're whole structure needs to be revisited. Here's some pseudo code...





1) initialize variables and select a random number


2) Get input from users


3) while input doesn't match random number...


a) calculate diff


b) if guess %26gt; random number, print "too high"


c) otherwise print "too low"


d) print "guess again"
