How do I run part of my code until I break? - c++

Question

I need help with my code I will put it all in if anyone can clean it up so it looks nice but I will then highlight what I need help with.
#include <Windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
int main() {
string ready;
system("#echo off");
system("cls");
cout << "ready to play? (y/n to play.): " << endl;
cin >> ready;
if (ready != "y")
do {
cout << "O.K. Goodbye!" << endl;
return 0;
} while (ready == "y");
cout << "OK!" << endl;
system("pause");
system("cls");
int number = 0;
int min = 1;
int max = 125;
int userinput;
srand(time(0));
number = rand() % (max - min + 1) + min;
int guesses_left = 10;
cout << "please try to guess a number between 1 and 125, you currently have: " << guesses_left << " guesses left" << endl;
cin >> userinput;
if (userinput > number){
cout << "Sorry your guess is too high, please guess again.";
cout << endl;
cout << "you now have: " << guesses_left << " guesses left. Please choose again.";
}
else if (userinput < number){
cout << "Soory, your guess is too low, please guess again." << endl;
cout << "You now have: " << guesses_left << " guesses left. Please choose again.";
}
else if (userinput == number){
cout << "congrats you won :)... Here have a prize as you won with: " << guesses_left << " guesses left." << endl << "no but seriously WELL DONE!!! :D";
system("cd C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer");
system("iexplore https://media.property118.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Best-Property-Forum.jpg");
return 0;
}
return 0; }
The bit I am struggling with is this
cout << "please try to guess a number between 1 and 125, you currently have: " << guesses_left << " guesses left" << endl;
cin >> userinput;
if (userinput > number){
cout << "Sorry your guess is too high, please guess again.";
cout << endl;
cout << "you now have: " << guesses_left << " guesses left. Please choose again.";
}
else if (userinput < number){
cout << "Soory, your guess is too low, please guess again." << endl;
cout << "You now have: " << guesses_left << " guesses left. Please choose again.";
}
else if (userinput == number){
cout << "congrats you won :)... Here have a prize as you won with: " << guesses_left << " guesses left." << endl << "no but seriously WELL DONE!!! :D";
system("cd C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer");
system("iexplore https://media.property118.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Best-Property-Forum.jpg");
return 0;
}
I am trying to loop this segment of code until I am bothered to add in you losing lives in the game. So if I get guess higher it should say it is higher and then loop back to give me another go. I have only started learning C++ yesterday and this is all mostly my code (some of it is adapted from other peoples posts like the srand and number = rand thing are other peoples)

Answer 1

I changed your "y/n" while loop to this :
cout << "ready to play? (y/n to play.): " << endl;
cin >> ready;
if (ready != "y")
{
cout << "O.K. Goodbye!" << endl;
return 0;
}
else
cout << "OK!" << endl;
I am also giving you a while version if you want to force the user to press either 'y' or 'n' to go further :
cout << "ready to play? (y/n to play.): " << endl;
cin >> ready;
while ( ready != 'y' && ready != 'n')
{
cout << "Only answer with 'y' or 'n' "<< endl;
cin >> ready;
}
and the game loop where user guesses to this :
int guesses_left = 10;
cout << "please try to guess a number between 1 and 125, you currently have: " << guesses_left << " guesses left" << endl;
while (guesses_left != 0)
{
cin >> userinput;
if (userinput > number){
cout << "Sorry your guess is too high, please guess again.";
cout << endl;
--guesses_left;
cout << "you now have: " << guesses_left << " guesses left. Please choose again.";
}
else if (userinput < number){
cout << "Soory, your guess is too low, please guess again." << endl;
--guesses_left;
cout << "You now have: " << guesses_left << " guesses left. Please choose again.";
}
else if (userinput == number){
cout << "congrats you won :)... Here have a prize as you won with: " << guesses_left << " guesses left." << endl << "no but seriously WELL DONE!!! :D";
system("cd C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer");
system("iexplore https://media.property118.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Best-Property-Forum.jpg");
return 0;
}
}
cout << "You have used up all your guesses." << endl;
return 0;
