PROGRAMMING CHALLENGE # 7
(Prerequisite: Completed File Input and Output)
Guess the Number
Youre going to make a Guess the Number game. The computer will
think of a random number from 1 to 20, and ask you to guess it. The
computer will tell you if each guess is too high or too low. You win if you
can guess the number within six tries. This is a good game to code
because it uses random numbers, loops, and input from the user in a
short program.
