Guess the number/With feedback
Write a game (computer program) that follows the following rules:
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
- Task
- The computer chooses a number between given set limits.
- The player is asked for repeated guesses until the the target number is guessed correctly
- At each guess, the computer responds with whether the guess is:
- higher than the target,
- equal to the target,
- less than the target, or
- the input was inappropriate.
- Related task

i++
V txt = input(‘Your guess(#.): ’.format(i))
X.try

- Output:

Plain English
<lang plainenglish>The low number is 1.
The high number is 100.
To run: Start up. Play the guessing game. Wait for the escape key. Shut down.
To play the guessing game: Pick a secret number between the low number and the high number. Write "I chose a secret number between " then the low number then " and " then the high number then "." then the return byte on the console. Loop. Ask the user for a number. If the number is the secret number, break. If the number is less than the secret number, write " Too low." on the console. If the number is greater than the secret number, write " Too high." on the console. Repeat. Write " Well guessed!" on the console.
To ask the user for a number: Write "Your guess? " to the console without advancing. Read a string from the console. If the string is not any integer, write " Guess must be an integer." on the console; repeat. Convert the string to the number. If the number is less than the low number, write " Guess can't be lower than " then the low number then "." on the console; repeat. If the number is greater than the high number, write " Guess can't be higher than " then the high number then "." on the console; repeat.</lang>

R
The previous solution lacked the required checks for if the input was appropriate, was bugged if low==high (R's sample function works differently if the input is of length 1), and behaved very strangely if low or high weren't whole numbers.
This solution works on the assumption that the number to be found is an integer and also assumes that the upper and lower bounds are distinct integers used inclusively. For example, this means that low=4 and high=5 should be a solvable case, but low=high=4 will throw an error. See Talk page entry dated 1st June 2020.
<lang rsplus>guessANumber <- function(low, high) {
boundryErrorCheck(low, high)
goal <- sample(low:high, size = 1)
guess <- getValidInput(paste0("I have a whole number between ", low, " and ", high, ". What's your guess? "))
while(guess != goal)
{
if(guess < low || guess > high){guess <- getValidInput("Out of range! Try again "); next}
if(guess > goal){guess <- getValidInput("Too high! Try again "); next}
if(guess < goal){guess <- getValidInput("Too low! Try again "); next}
}
"Winner!"
}
boundryErrorCheck <- function(low, high) {
if(!is.numeric(low) || as.integer(low) != low) stop("Lower bound must be an integer. Try again.")
if(!is.numeric(high) || as.integer(high) != high) stop("Upper bound must be an integer. Try again.")
if(high < low) stop("Upper bound must be strictly greater than lower bound. Try again.")
if(low == high) stop("This game is impossible to lose. Try again.")
invisible()
}
- R's system for checking if numbers are integers is lacking (e.g. is.integer(1) returns FALSE)
- so we need this next function.
- A better way to check for integer inputs can be found in is.interger's docs, but this is easier to read.
- Note that readline outputs the user's input as a string, hence the need for type.convert.
getValidInput <- function(requestText) {
guess <- type.convert(readline(requestText))
while(!is.numeric(guess) || as.integer(guess) != guess){guess <- type.convert(readline("That wasn't an integer! Try again "))}
as.integer(guess)
