Guess the number/With feedback
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Task

Write a game (computer program) that follows the following rules:

  • 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.

Output:
Guess my target number that is between 1 and 100 (inclusive).

Your guess(1): kk
  I don't understand your input of 'kk' ?
Your guess(2): 0
  Out of range!
Your guess(3): 100
  Too high.
Your guess(4): 101
  Out of range!
Your guess(5): 50
  Too high.
Your guess(6): 25
  Too high.
Your guess(7): 13

Groovy

Based on the Java implementation

def rand = new Random() // java.util.Random
def range = 1..100 // Range (inclusive)
def number = rand.nextInt(range.size()) + range.from // get a random number in the range

println "The number is in ${range.toString()}" // print the range

def guess
while (guess != number) { // keep running until correct guess
    try {
        print 'Guess the number: '
        guess = System.in.newReader().readLine() as int // read the guess in as int
        switch (guess) { // check the guess against number
            case { it < number }: println 'Your guess is too low'; break
            case { it > number }: println 'Your guess is too high'; break
            default:              println 'Your guess is spot on!'; break
        }
    } catch (NumberFormatException ignored) { // catches all input that is not a number
        println 'Please enter a number!'
    }
}

Example:

The number is in 1..100
Guess the number: ghfvkghj
Please enter a number!
Guess the number: 50
Your guess is too low
Guess the number: 75
Your guess is too low
Guess the number: 83
Your guess is too low
Guess the number: 90
Your guess is too low
Guess the number: 95
Your guess is too high
Guess the number: 92
Your guess is spot on!

J

require 'misc'
game=: verb define
  assert. y -: 1 >. <.{.y
  n=: 1 + ?y
  smoutput 'Guess my integer, which is bounded by 1 and ',":y

Note: in computational contexts, J programmers typically avoid loops. However, in contexts which involve progressive input and output and where event handlers are too powerful (too complicated), loops are probably best practice.

Example use:

   game 100
Guess my integer, which is bounded by 1 and 100
Guess: 64
Too high.
Guess: 32
Too low.
Guess: 48
Too high.
Guess: 40
Too low.
Guess: 44
You win.

Also works with gojq, the Go implementation of jq.

In the following, a time-based PRNG is used as that is sufficient for the task. For a different PRNG, see e.g. Guess_the_number#jq

# $min and $max can be specified on the command line but for illustrative purposes:
def minmax: [0, 20];

# low-entropy PRNG in range($a;$b) i.e. $a <= prng < $b
# (no checking)
def prng($a;$b): $a + ((now * 1000000 | trunc) % ($b - $a) );

def play:
  # extract a number if possible
  def str2num:

  | "The computer has chosen a whole number between \($min) and \($max) inclusive.",

Plain English

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.
Output:
I chose a secret number between 1 and 100.

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.

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 "))}

Example output:

Low  limit: 1
High limit: 10
I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10.
Can you guess the number? maybe
Please enter a number in the given range.
3
You're too low.
Can you guess the number? 6
You're too low.
Can you guess the number? 8
Correct!

ZX Spectrum Basic has no [[:Category:Conditional loops|conditional loop]] constructs, so we have to emulate them here using IF and GO TO.
