From: Evan Riley Date: 2010-09-02T22:28:42+09:00 Subject: New to ruby - Need help with simple guessing program Ok,so as a little practice I've decided to come up with a Guessing Game where the user is able to guess a number, and if it the same as the randomly generated number by the computer, he gets a message that says a little hooray message. That part is done, and completed, but now I need help with tracking the amount of entries he makes in gets Here is my current code: random_number = rand(10) puts 'Can you guess the number?' puts 'Select a number from 1-10 please' players_number = gets.chomp while players_number.to_i != random_number.to_i while players_number.to_i < random_number.to_i if players_number.to_i < random_number.to_i puts 'Sorry your to low' puts '_________________' random_number = rand(10) puts 'Can you guess the number?' puts 'Select a number from 1-10 please' players_number = gets.chomp end end while players_number.to_i > random_number.to_i if players_number.to_i > random_number.to_i puts 'Sorry your to high' puts '__________________' random_number = rand(10) puts 'Can you guess the number?' puts 'Select a number from 1-10 please' players_number = gets.chomp end end while players_number.to_i == random_number.to_i if players_number.to_i == random_number.to_i puts 'Congratluations! You Win!' puts '_________________________' random_number = rand(10) puts 'Can you guess the number?' puts 'Select a number from 1-10 please' players_number = gets.chomp else end end end Can anyone help me with tracking the amount of entries he makes? Thank you. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
