Basic guessing program

[halo combat22]

I am looking on some help on a program where i have the user enter a random number from say 1-20. I do it until number is chosen. Meanwhile it tells the user it it has gotten cooler or warmer from their last guess.

ty, any help is appreciated.

Our experts are generally happy to help. But you need to give us some idea of what to help with.

What version of VB are you using? What have you tried? What are you having trouble with?

Vb6, i have tried doing such as using 2 vars, 1 for first input and 1 for next input so it is easier. But i have not gone far, it wont display right answer.

I think He/She want to make a programe having artificial intelligence which will guess the mood of user either it is Cool or Warmer from their last guess.
Is it right?
I think?
GOODLUCK

Actual number is 16.
For instance, the user guesses 5 the first time;
the user guesses 8 the second time; Msgbox - "you got warmer than your last guess"
the user guesses 7 the third time; Msgbox-"you got colder"
It basically loops around until number is guessed.

From your logic it seems ,only checking if the previous number is greater or lesser that the current number will be sufficent.

> Hotter
< Cooler

No, the logic is that "hotter" or "warmer" means closer to the right answer. "Cooler" means further away, or "more wrong".

This is a fairly common technique (in some countries) for indicating whether someone is getting closer to or further away from the correct answer, or place.

Yeap, here in mexico it's very common. then i think you can just define 3 integers (k,m,n) lets make k the "correct answer" with

k = int(rnd*20)+1

and then it should look like:

m=inputbox ("First guess")
    do
        if m = k then exit do
        n=imputbox("next guess")
        if (m-k)^2 > (n-k)^2 then 
            msgbox("warmer")
        elseif (m-k)^2 > (n-k)^2 then 
            msgbox("cooler")
        else
             msgbox("neither cooler nor warmer")
        end if
        m=n
     loop
msgbox("congrats")
