Here’s how I did my first For Loop and avoided magic numbers:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
void PrintIntro();
string GetGuessAndPrintBack();
// entry point for our application
int main()
{
PrintIntro();
int NumberOfGuesses = 4; // create variable NumberOfGuesses
for (int count = 0; count <= NumberOfGuesses; count++) // Count from 0 to NumberOfGuesses
{
GetGuessAndPrintBack();
}
return 0;
}
// introduce the game
void PrintIntro()
{
constexpr int WordLength = 5;
cout << "Welcome to Bulls and Cows, a fun word game.\n\n";
cout << "Can you guess the " << WordLength << " letter isogram I'm thinking of?\n\n";
return;
}
// get a guess from the player
string GetGuessAndPrintBack()
{
string Guess = "";
cout << "Make a guess: ";
getline(cin, Guess);
// repeat the guess back to them
cout << "Your guess was: " << Guess << endl;
return Guess;
}
