Problem 54

Hi-Lo with Limited Tries

Write a program that picks a random number from 1-100. The user keeps guessing as long as their guess is wrong, and they’ve guessed less than 7 times.

If their guess is higher than the number, say “Too high.”
If their guess is lower than the number, say “Too low.”
When they get it right, the game stops.
if they hit seven guesses, the game stops even if they never got it right.

This means your while loop will have a compound condition using &&.

I'm thinking of a number between 1-100.  You have 7 guesses.
First guess: 50
Sorry, you are too low.
Guess # 2: 75
Sorry, you are too low.
Guess # 3: 87
Sorry, that guess is too high.
Guess # 4: 82
Sorry, you are too low.
Guess # 5: 84
You guessed it!  What are the odds?!?

I'm thinking of a number between 1-100.  You have 7 guesses.
First guess: 1
Sorry, you are too low.
Guess # 2: 2
Sorry, you are too low.
Guess # 3: -8
Sorry, you are too low.
Guess # 4: 0
Sorry, you are too low.
Guess # 5: 7
Sorry, you are too low.
Guess # 6: 612
Sorry, that guess is too high.
Guess # 7: -523
Sorry, you didn't guess it in 7 tries.  You lose.
