c++ simple car game

Here is an example of a simple car game written in C++ with explanations for each step:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

int main() {
    // Generate a random number between 1 and 100
    srand(time(0));
    int target = rand() % 100 + 1;

    int guess;
    int tries = 0;

    cout << "Welcome to the Car Game!" << endl;

    do {
        cout << "Enter your guess (1-100): ";
        cin >> guess;

        if (guess < target) {
            cout << "Too low! Try again." << endl;
        } else if (guess > target) {
            cout << "Too high! Try again." << endl;
        }

        tries++;
    } while (guess != target);

    cout << "Congratulations! You guessed the correct number in " << tries << " tries." << endl;

    return 0;
}

Explanation:

  1. We include the necessary libraries: iostream for input/output, cstdlib for random number generation, and ctime for seeding the random number generator.

  2. We define the main function, which is the entry point of the program.

  3. We seed the random number generator using srand(time(0)) to ensure different random numbers are generated on each run.

  4. We generate a random number between 1 and 100 using rand() % 100 + 1 and store it in the variable target.

  5. We declare the variables guess to store the user's guess and tries to keep track of the number of tries.

  6. We output a welcome message to the user.

  7. We enter a do-while loop that continues until the user guesses the correct number.

  8. Inside the loop, we ask the user to enter a guess using cin >> guess.

  9. We check if the guess is lower than the target number and display a corresponding message.

  10. We check if the guess is higher than the target number and display a corresponding message.

  11. We increment the tries variable to keep track of the number of tries.

  12. We repeat the loop as long as the guess is not equal to the target number.

  13. Once the user guesses the correct number, we display a congratulatory message along with the number of tries it took.

  14. We return 0 to indicate successful program execution.

This simple car game allows the user to guess a randomly generated number and provides feedback on whether the guess is too high or too low. The game continues until the user guesses the correct number, and the program keeps track of the number of tries.
