for loop for a guessing game

[yesamin]

hello how can i do a for loop .. for a guessing game... and the only 5 oportunities to answer..... forexample no you wrong u have 4 guess left"

heres my code !!1

this one just keeps giving me an unfishing loop grrrr!!!

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <time.h>
using namespace std;

void welcome()
{
	cout << " welcome to my game i will pick a number between 1 - 50"
		<< "and you will try to guess it :)"<< endl;

}


int main()
{
	
	welcome();


	int secret_number;

	int guess;

	bool number;


//4. Seed the pseudo-random generator with the statement:
srand( static_cast<int>( time( NULL ) ) );


secret_number = rand() % 50 + 1;
cout << " please enter a number" << endl;
cin >> guess;





for (int i=0; i<5; i--)
{
	int times =5;

	{

	if (guess== secret_number)
	{
		cout << " yay you got it"
			<< " thanks for playing" <<endl;
		
	}
	else if (guess > secret_number)&&(times == i--)
	{
		cout << " nope guess is too high" 
			<< " you have" <<  times<< "left" << endl;
	}
	else 
		cout << " you got no more tries :( " << endl;
	}
}



return 0;
}

Please use code tags.

This is your problem:

for (int i=0; i<5; i--) // you are decrementing i, it will become -1
{
int times =5; // times will always be five

Is this really what you want to do?

else if (guess > secret_number)&&(times == i--)

A) You have no condition for guess being less than the random number
B) You are decrementing i, this -will- affect your loop
C) Times will always be 5, so in your std::cout, you will always tell the user they have 5 guesses left.

Perhaps this is what you wanted:

int times(5);
for(i=0;i<5;i++) {
  --times;
  std::cout << "You have " << times << " guesses remaining." << std::endl;
  if( guess == secret_number ) {
    std::cout << "Correct." << std::endl;
    return 0; // exit program
  } elseif( guess < secret_number ) {
    std::cout << "Your guess was too low." << std::endl;
  } elseif( guess > secret_number ) {
    std::cout << "Your guess was too high." << std::endl;
  }
}
return 0;
