Rules
One of the players comes up with a secret number (The computer in our game), and the other player tries to guess it (You).
The secret number must consist of 4 digits and each digit must be unique.
For example:
1112
would not be an acceptable secret number1234
on the other hand is an acceptable value for the secret number, since each digit is unique
After each guess, the player will get a hint to help them guess better next time around.
The hint tells the player how many bulls and how many cows there were. What are bulls and cows?
- If there are any matching digits and they are in their right positions, they are counted as "bulls".
- If in different positions, they are counted as "cows".
For example, with a secret number 4271
:
Player's try: 1234
Hint: 1 bull and 2 cows
How did we arrive at one bull and two cows? The bull is the number 2
as it is in the right position.
The cows are 4
and 1
, as they exist in the secret number but they are not in the right position.
Do not disclose to the user which digit is a cow and which one is bull, just how many there are (if any).
There is no limit on the number of guesses - guessing continues until the player figures out the other player's secret number.
Once the player has guessed the secret number correctly, display a message to congratulate them.
