[SOLVED] Help with Guess my number

Level Help

@Chaboi_3000 @Gamestack @Seojin_Roy_Lee could you guys help me pls. I don’t know what is wrong.

Never mind i figured it out

Congrats on figuring out yourself. :hugs:

Can someone pls help me with this level as well (javascript)

// You need to guess the number from 1 to 999 (0 < n < 1000).
// You have 10 attempts!
// For each attempt Riddler will say if the number is less or greater.
// If the guessed number is less than your try, then a munchkin ogre appears.
// Else a scout ogre appears.

var lowestPossible = 1;
var highestPossible = 999;

var guess = 500;

while (true) {
    // You need to defeat the enemy before the next attempt.
    var enemy = hero.findNearest(hero.findEnemies());
    if (enemy) {
        // "scout" is 'greater', "munchkin" is less.
        // Prepare for the next attempt and wipe out the ogre.
        if(enemy.type === "munchkin") {
            guess -= 5;
        } else {
            guess += 5;
        }
        hero.attack(enemy);
        
    }
    else {
        // Make your next attempt and say it.
        hero.say(guess);
    }
}

The algoritm is that the guess = lowestPossible + hightestPossible/2 (+1 the sum if the sum÷2==1) then if the guess is to small put lowestPossible = guess and if the guess is to big then hightest =guess. Do you need any more assistance at this level?

8

I dont understand the logic. Could you pls explain again? thx

9

Here put lowestPossible = guess

Here put hightestPossible = guess

After this, put hero.say(guess);

I’m gonna try and see thx

Then, try to resummit until you complete the level.

12

It keeps saying 500 and i lose in the end

var lowest = 1;
var highest = 999;
var guess = 500;
hero.say(guess);

while (true) {
    // You need to defeat the enemy before the next attempt.
    var enemy = hero.findNearest(hero.findEnemies());
    if (enemy) {
        // "scout" is 'greater', "munchkin" is less.
        // Prepare for the next attempt and wipe out the ogre.
        if(enemy.type === "munchkin") {
            lowest = guess;
        } else {
            highest = guess;
        }
        hero.attack(enemy);
        
    }
    else {
        // Make your next attempt and say it.
        hero.say(guess);
    }
}

Try resummiting. There is something strange in that regard to the level. So resummit until you succed. Let me know when you complete the level, ok?

14

Ok thanks for your help again. I’m gonna try rn

15

I don’t see where you are changing the value of ‘guess’. At the top of your code, you define it as ‘guess = 500’, but then never change it. So yes, guess is always going to be 500.

I’ve submitted 10 times. Only saying 500

17

Oh ok. I’ll see right now but by how much is my problem

18

I forgot to tell. After that, put this:

var sum = lowest + hightest;
if (sum ÷ 2 == 1){
    sum += 1;
}
guess = sum / 2
19

Could you also pls explain the logic of that so that I’ll be more independent in my thinking in future levels? Thx

20

For my solution, I manipulate the high and low variables, depending on whether it’s a scout or ogre. I also have a function that defines ‘guess’, based on the values of ‘high’ and ‘low’.
