Hey, I'm somewhat new to programming in c++ and I have had this code I wrote for a long time now. I wrote this about 9 months ago when I was really interested in learning the c++ language but lost interest during the summer. Well, now I'm getting back into it and I would like to know what you think of this code. Its a simple guessing game and its pretty novice. What I would like to know is what you think of it; is there room for improvement? Is it sloppy? Am I not fully utilizing what c++ has to offer? Just tell me what you think.
