How to keep track of how many guesses the user makes and print a message that tells them they lose? Exit after 5 guesses.
num=$(( $RANDOM % 100 1 ))
while [ "$input" -ne "$num" ]; do
if [ "$input" -gt "$num" ]; then
echo "The number is too high."
read input
elif [ "$input" -lt "$num" ]; then
echo "The number is too low."
read input
fi
done
echo "Great, you picked the right number."
CodePudding user response:
Would you please try the following:
#!/bin/bash
num=$(( $RANDOM % 100 1 ))
for (( i = 0; i < 5; i )); do
read -p "Enter a number: " input
if (( input == num )); then
echo "Great, you picked the right number."
break
elif (( input > num )); then
echo "The number is too high."
elif (( input < num )); then
echo "The number is too low."
fi
done
BTW I tested the script by modifying the random number generator to $RANDOM % 10 1
but still not easy :).
