Question

C only (not C++)

Write a C program that simulates a game. There are two players (called Player1 and Player2). At the start of the game, each player chooses a number from 1 to 10 (cannot be the same). Then, the program will generate a random number from 1 to 10. The game ends when either Player1 or Player2 hits the number generated by the program. Display the winning message for the winner. Example output: Player 1: 6 Player 2: 3 The game starts... Point 1: 4 Point 2: 5 Point 3: 3 The winner is player 2

Answer 1

the code contains an infinite while loop that contains the statements to generate a random number in each iteration and this number is compared with the numbers of player 1 and 2 . And if any of those match then the respective player wins and the loop terminates.

//code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

int main()
{
   int p1,p2;
   int randnum, count=0;
   time_t t;
     /* Intializes random number generator */
   srand((unsigned) time(&t));
printf("Player 1: ");
scanf("%d",&p1);
printf("Player 2: ");
scanf("%d", &p2);

   while(1)
   {
        count++;
      randnum = (rand() % 10)+1;   //random number from 1-10
      printf("\nPoint %d: %d", count, randnum);
      if(randnum == p1)
      {
         printf("\nThe winner is Player 1");
         break;
      }
      else if(randnum == p2)
      {
         printf("\nThe winner is Player 2");
         break;
      }
    
   }

   return(0);
}

//output:
