below is a simple program i am trying to figure out as i teach my self c++ from this wonderful book i bought. currently my biggest problem is the loop it creates. Once i figure that out i know there is going to be a problem with the math in it, but that should be easier. This is suppose to make a program/game where the player picks a number between 1 and 100 and the computer tries to guess it. my problem is when it while loop starts it never stops and waits for the user to input any of the cin variables. How do i make it wait for those?
thanks in advance for any info and help
