Newer to coding and im stuck, Need to make a array thats stores 5 numbers (1-9), then i need to check that array for duplicates if there is duplicates i need to replace that number either with a whole new random line no duplicates (seems like the easier option) or just replace that one number, after that wants me to get users 5 numbers guess store that in a array, display that array at the bottom along with these under each of the numbers
// The * = means the number is in the exact location
// The - = means the array does not contain that number
// The = means the array contains the number but its not in the right location
All the arrays want the digits to be entered one at a time repeat steps till user gets all the numbers to * then end game with completion msg.
My true problem lies with step 4 and step 7; Below is the code ive been working on today but any help would be truly appreciated
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
void game_instructions(int n);
bool search_array(int a[], int n, int t);
int main()
{
//Step 1: Declare your variables and constants
const int SIZE = 5; //this constant stores the length/size of the code
int randcode[SIZE]; //this array stores the code generated randomly by the computer
int guess[SIZE]; //this array stores the code inputted by the player/user
//you may add more variables as needed
//Step 2: Output game instructions by calling function game_instructions
game_instructions(SIZE);
//Step 3: Generate a random code and store it in the array randcode one digit at a time.
//Each digit should be between 0 and 9 and should be stored as one array element
//Recall that rand() % 10 can be used to generate a number between 0 and 9
srand(time(0));
for(int i=0;i<SIZE;i )
randcode[i]= (rand() % 10); //Computers random 5 numbers generated
cout<<"\nRandom C-numbers::"<<endl;
for(int i=0;i<SIZE;i )
cout<<randcode[i] << " ";
//Step 4: Repeat step 3 if the array randcode contains duplicates
//You must use function contains_duplicates to implement this step
//Step 5: Ask the user for his guess and store it in the array guess.
//Read one digit at a time, validate it to make sure it is between 0 and 9, and store it as one array element
for (int i=0; i<SIZE; i ) {
cout<<"\nEnter Digit "<< i 1 << ": ";
cin >> guess[i];}
cout << endl;
//Step 6: Output the array guess on a single line with a space after each element (see the sample output provided)
for (int n=0; n < SIZE; n) {
cout << guess[n] << " ";
}
//Step 7: Compare the randomly generated code (randcode) with the user's guess (guess)
//and display feedback for each digit as: *, or –, as explained below:
//For each digit in the user's guess do the following:
// If it matches the digit from the random code (both value and position), output *
// Otherwise, if it appears anywhere in the random code, output (use function search_array here)
// Otherwise, output -
//Step 8: Repeat steps 5,6,7 until all digits have been guessed correctly
//Step 9: Output congratulations message
cout << endl << endl;
cout << "Good job! You guessed the code!";
return 0;
}
void game_instructions(int n)
//This function outputs the game instructions.
//Its parameter n represents the length of the code.
{
cout << "A random " << n << " digit code has been generated. You have to guess it. \n";
cout << "For every digit you will receive feedback in the form of *, or - \n";
cout << " * means the digit is in the code and it is in the correct position.\n";
cout << " means the digit is in the code but it is not in the correct position.\n";
cout << " - means the digit is not in the code.\n";
}
bool search_array(int a[], int n, int t)
//This function searches the array a (of size n) for a target value t.
//If t is found in the array the function returns true; otherwise it returns false.
{
for (int i = 0; i < n; i )
{
if (a[i] == t) return true;
}
return false;
}
bool contains_duplicates(int a[], int n)
//This function searches the array a (of size n) and returns true if the array contains duplicates; otherwise, it returns false.
{
for (int i = 0; i < n; i )
{
//compare element a[i] with all the remaining elements from index i 1 to n
for (int j = i 1; j < n; j )
{
if (a[i] == a[j]) return true;
}
}
return false;
}
I got most the side code done but im just stumped on how to get this array to match any help would be nice
CodePudding user response：
Here is how I would implement the program to generate the number without duplicate:
Step3 would look like this:
int tempNumber;
int i = 0;
while (i < SIZE) {
tempNumber = (rand() % 10);
if (contains_duplicates(randcode, tempNumber, i) == false) {
// every time there is no duplicate we push and add i by 1;
randcode[i] = tempNumber; // Computers random 5 numbers generated
i ;
}
}
contains_duplicates function would look like this:
bool contains_duplicates(int arr[], int tempNum, int currentArrSize)
// This function searches the array a (of size n) and returns true if the
//array
// contains duplicates; otherwise, it returns false.
{
for (int j = 0; j <= currentArrSize; j ) {
// if the array[index] not equal generated number the loop will
//iterate again without going to the line below
if (arr[j] != tempNum) {
continue;
}
// if the array[index] equal the function will return true and end
//the function
// uncomment this to check how many time it duplicate (not
//necessary tho)
//cout << "if return true, this will appear"<< endl;
return true;
}
// if the loop is done and no duplicate, function will return false
return false;
}
With this method it is not necessary to do step 4 because we already prevent duplicate array!
Here is the last problem from your question which is step 7:
cout << endl;
for (int i = 0; i < SIZE; i ) {
if (guess[i] == randcode[i]) {
cout << "* ";
} else if (search_array(randcode, SIZE, guess[i])) {
cout << " ";
} else {
cout << "- ";
}
}
Seems like the problem has been solved, now try to implement step 8 by yourself, good luck :)
