number guessing problem

[Zvjezdan23]

My teacher assigned the class this:

Create a simple Game Loop for the game Mastermind. (Search the Internet to refresh your mind on how Mastermind is set up.)
Have your computer generate a random 5 digit number, as a string. Then the user must guess the number. Using the code:
1 = implies right Number, Right Place.
2 = implies right Number, Wrong Place.
0 = implies Wrong Number.
So the computer decides on 12345; the user guesses 11235; the computer should respond with 10221. Hint: Watch out for a double number like 11 when there is only one.

I am stuck though. I have my random numbers for the computer and I have my player guesses. I have also turned them into string. My problem is that idk how to access them from the convert_int_to_string(int computer_number[5]) function. can anyone help me?

Why do you need to convert the integer array to a string array?
can't you use an if statement for the original array already

[Zvjezdan23]

my teacher wants me to use strings instead of integers because ints would be too easy to do. I coded the 98 lines in like 15 minutes.

I think that i can do the if number[0] == 1 then number[0] == "1" and do that for all numbers, but my problem lies again in the "how do I access single arrays from return functions?" like how do i do this:

cout << "Computer numbers: " << convert_int_to_string(computer_numbers[0]) << endl; but to do that for all of the computers numbers and then for the players so i can make an if-else statement so i can finish this program.

Can anyone help me out please???

Why don't you store the player guess directly from input?

string strPlayerGuess;
cout << "Your number: ";
getline( cin, strPlayerGuess);

And then compare both strings in a for loop

string Response;

for( int i = 0; i < strPlayerGuess.length(); i++ )
{

if( strPlayerGuess[i] == strComputerGeneratedNumber[i] )
{

response += '1';

}
else if ...

.......

}
And so...

I think it is easier to solve with strings than with integers.

[Zvjezdan23]

I don't quite follow...

[Iwansomney]

Is this what are you trying to do?

string returnStringComputer = convert_int_to_string( computer_numbers );
string returnStringPlayer = convert_player_guess_int_to_string( player_guess );

if( returnStringComputer[0] == returnStringPlayer[0] )
 .......

[Zvjezdan23]

yes. Is that exact way possible????

[Zvjezdan23]

If this works I'm voting, commenting, and saying that you are genius.
