1.
Design an Algorithm
Scenario: You are creating a simple text-based game where the
player needs to guess a randomly generated number within a
certain range (e.g., 1-100).
Task:
o Design an algorithm (using pseudocode or a flowchart) for
this game.
o Your algorithm should:
Generate a random number within the specified range.
Prompt the player to enter their guess.
Provide feedback to the player (e.g., "Too high", "Too
low", "Correct!").
Allow the player to continue guessing until they guess
the correct number.
Keep track of the number of attempts.
Answer:
START
DEFINE minimum = 1
DEFINE maximum = 100
SET hiddenNumber = randomly pick a number between minimum
and maximum
SET attemptCount = 0
PRINT "Let's play! Guess a number between", minimum, "and",
maximum
LOOP until the correct guess is made:
ASK player for a number guess
READ inputGuess
INCREMENT attemptCount by 1
IF inputGuess is less than hiddenNumber THEN
PRINT "Oops! That's too low."
ELSE IF inputGuess is greater than hiddenNumber THEN
PRINT "Nope! That’s too high."
ELSE
PRINT "Congratulations! You guessed it right in",
attemptCount, "tries."
END IF
END LOOP
END
2. Code Implementation
Task:
o Implement the algorithm you designed in Question 1 using
Javascript
o Your code should:
Generate a random number.
Prompt the user for input.
Provide feedback to the user based on their guess.
Keep track of the number of attempts.
Display the number of attempts taken by the player to
guess the correct number.
ANSWER:
// Pick a number between 1 and 100 at random
const secretNumber = [Link]([Link]() * 100) + 1;
let guessCount = 0;
let userInput;
alert("Hello! I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.\nCan you
guess what it is?");
while (true) {
userInput = parseInt(prompt("Your guess:"));
// Validate that the input is a number
if (isNaN(userInput)) {
alert("That’s not a number! Please enter a valid number.");
continue;
}
guessCount++;
if (userInput < secretNumber) {
alert("Too low. Try a higher number.");
} else if (userInput > secretNumber) {
alert("Too high. Try a smaller number.");
} else {
alert(`You nailed it! It took you ${guessCount} attempts to find
the number.`);
break;
}
}
