Duplicate of Bulls and cows task

Mastermind is just a modern name for the game Bulls_and_cows, for which there is already a page.

Except that the game of   Bull and Cows:
  •   limits the characters to nine decimal digits   (usually one ───► nine),
  •   the number of characters (decimal digits) in the guess is mandated to be four,
  •   has scoring,
  •   has a limit for the number of guesses;
  •   doesn't allow duplication (replication/repeats) of any decimal digit,
  •   and has less   (and different)   requirements for the display.
