when I compile I get a few errors.. is there a way
to set up the settings to show what SHOULD be there
to make it right?? it just says the standard error
messages...When possible it would be nice to see at
least some suggestions to fix it. thanks

I dont think so. However, you can figure out what should be there either by spotting the error or doing a little research.

[scrip99]

int main()
{
int number=rand()%100;
int
guess=-1;
int trycount=0;
while(guess!=number && trycount<8)

{
cout<<"Please enter a guess: ";
cin>>guess;

if(guess<number)
cout<<"Too low"<<endl;

if(guess>number)
cout<<"Too high"<<endl;

trycount++;
}
if(guess==number)
cout<<"You guessed the
number";}
else
cout<<"Sorry, the number was:
"<<number;
return 0;
}

what do you see wrong here?

You will get the the same number from rand() each time.

Also, this code:

if(guess==number)
cout<<"You guessed the
number";} <<<<<<<<??
else
cout<<"Sorry, the number was:
"<<number;

looks like it has unbalanced braces.

I would code it as:

if(guess==number)
{
cout<<"You guessed the
number";
}
else
{
cout<<"Sorry, the number was:
"<<number;
}
 

This way there is no confusion.

Also, you have literals spanning lines. For example,

cout<<"You guessed the
number";

and that won't compile in C++. You can continue a litreral from one line to the next but you have to have each section with it's own double quotes:

[quote=scrip99]
cout<<"You guessed the"
"number";

How long have you been programming with any compiler anyways?

[scrip99]

not long doesnt matter

It dosn't (sorry for posting on unrelated maters), but I was just confirming a suspicion.
