C++ Loop Question Here

Expand Post »

Hello,
I have this program here>> it's a random guessing number game. It works great the only thing I can't figure out, is how to display the best score at the end of the Loops. The outer loop is suppose to keep track of the number of games played ( number of times the loop is iterated) and the best score. So basically each time the inner loop is done, it displays a score. At the end of the program, if the user selects 'N' to stop the loop or rather end the game, the best score will be displayed or (the least number of times it took the user to guess the number) CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE????

Re: C++ Loop Question Here

Well the idea is simple.

It's akin to finding the smallest integer within a set of elements:
How do you think you might do that kiddo?
