another guess
Why do I have to keep
rerunning the program?
You mean I only get one
guess?????
The users still don’t like it.
The program works, and now generates extra feedback, but
there’s a problem. If the users want to have another guess, they
have to run the program again. They really want the program
to keep asking them for another guess until they finally get the
correct answer.
Can you see what the problem is?
How do we get the computer to do something repeatedly? Should
we just make a copy of the code and paste it at the end of the file?
That would make sure the user is asked twice. But what if they
need to make 3 guesses? Or 4 guesses? Or 10,000 guesses?
What about the case where the guess is correct?
The guessing game program needs to be able to
run some code repeatedly.
