I want my my program to look just like the one below (as in showing what guess # they are on ):I've been working on this for the past hour or so but I just can't seem, to get it right . Can someone help me?
For example i keep getting(after debugging):
Enter your choice of letter: A
I am sorry but your guess is too LOW
but I want it to look like the one below(as in 1:,2:ect). can anybody help me please?:
Enter your choice of letter 1: A
I am sorry but your guess is too LOW.
Enter your choice of letter 2: Z
I am sorry but your guess is too HIGH.
Enter your choice of letter 3: B
I am sorry but your guess is too LOW.
...ect.
My code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<time.h>
#define WIN 'W'
#define LOSE 'L'
#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
#define MAX_GUESSES 6

// or "L" if the player runs out of guesses.

char guess();
// This function returns a random letter between "A" and "Z
char GetAnswer();
int main()
{
char answer;
//1. Greet the user and ask if they would like to play a guessing game.
//2. As long as the answer is "Y" or "y", display instructions for playing the game. Otherwise, let the program end with a return codeof -1.
printf("Hello there!\n\nWould like to play a guessing game?Enter Y or N: \n");
