rockchicx23

i have to write a program that is a guessing the number game. the user has to choose the number of games they want to play. i need help setting up the loop that will run the number of times the user wants it to here is my code so far

//Assignment 2 Play

//In this guessing game the user will be asked to guess a number from between 1-100

//The user has ten tries if they donot guess the right number its game over

//The user also gets to choose how many times they want to play between 1-10

int valid=0;        //For the while loop, how many games the user wants to play

int guess1=0;        //Input the users guess at the number

int guess2;

int number;            //The ramdom number the computer picks so the user can guess

int i=0;
 
void Instructions();

//Prompts the user the game number they are playing

srand(time(NULL));

number = 1 + rand() % 100;

//Loop for game

for(tries=1; tries<11&&guess1!=number;tries++)
 
{

//Asks user to input their guess

    printf("please enter a number to guess between 0 and 100: ");

scanf("%d", &guess1);

}

Change the condition of your while loop to reflect your two input criteria (so say while greater than 1 and less than 10). Take in your value for the number of games and use a second loop outside of the while loop but surrounding your game loop. You'll have a set number of games, so treat it like when you had a set number of guesses.

Also, please use the code tags (highlight your code text and hit the # button on the upper right hand side of the input box). Otherwise looks good.
