Random Generator Questions

Question

How do i make a application that will produce a random number between 1-10 and then ask the user to guess that number, and if that number is matching the random number tell them if they got it right!

I'm a student, like super new and was out of class for a few days because of surgery and i can not figure this out for the life of me!

This is what i've come up with for the problem.

namespace GuessingGame
{
   class Program
   {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int min = 1;
            int max = 10;    
            Random ranNumberGenerator = new Random();
            int randomNumber;
            randomNumber = ranNumberGenerator.Next(min, max);
            Console.WriteLine("Guess a random number between 1 and 10.");
            Console.ReadLine();
            if (randomNumber == randomNumber)
                Console.WriteLine("You got it!");
            else
                Console.WriteLine("Sorry, try again!");
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

The upper limit for the Next method is exclusive, so you want to use 11 rather than 10 for that:

randomNumber = ranNumberGenerator.Next(min, max + 1);

You are ignoring the input from the user. Capture that in a string:

string input = Console.ReadLine();

Then parse the input to a number:

int number = Int32.Parse(input);

Now you can compare that number to the random number.

If you want to handle incorrect input from the user in a more user friendly way than crashing, you would use TryParse to attempt to parse the number.
