I need help with the program I'm making

d great one · Sep 28, 2008

Basically the output would be

Welcome to deal or no deal.
Cases are 1 - 14
Enter case number: 4

Banker's offer is 14000
D = Deal N = No Deal
Deal or no deal? n

The case contains 2000
You win

The program is

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
#include <conio.h>

int a,b;

main()
{
short unsigned int num = 0;
short unsigned int num2 = 0;
char letter;
loop:

num = 1 + rand() % (14 - 1 + 1);
num2 = 1 + rand() % (14 - 1 + 1);

printf ("Welcome to deal or no deal.\nCases are 1 - 14");
printf ("\nEnter case number: ");
scanf ("%d", &a);
a=num*1000;
printf ("\nBanker's offer is %d", a);
printf ("\nD = Deal N = No Deal\nDeal or no deal? ");
scanf ("%",&letter);
b=num2*1000;
printf ("\nThe case contains %d",b);
switch (letter)

if (letter == 'n' || letter == 'N')
{
if (a < b) goto win;
else if (a > b) goto lose;
else if (a == b) goto same;
}
else if (letter == 'd' || letter == 'D')
{
if (a > b) goto win;
else if (a < b) goto lose;
else if (a == b) goto same;
}
win:
{
printf ("\nYou win\n");
system ("pause");
return 0;
}
lose:
{
printf ("\nYou lost\n");
system ("pause");
return 0;
}
same:
{
printf ("\nBanker's offer and case is just the same\n");
system ("pause");
return 0;
}
getch();
}

I need help, because sometimes when the case has higher value than the banker's offer and I pick 'D' (no deal) I still get to win.

The main problem is I don't get the right result in winning or losing.

Please help me.

If the section forum is wrong, please move and notify me. Thanks.

I'm not going to fix it for you. I'm going to tell you how to fix it.

But first of all, don't use the goto statement. If you do, you're practically asking for terrible code.

Ok, so just give me a hint on how to put the win lost same in the switch/case syntax. Or is it possible to combine switch/case with if else?

I still get a funny random result

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
#include <conio.h>

int a,b;

main()
{
short unsigned int num = 0;
short unsigned int num2 = 0;
char test;
srand(time(NULL));

loot:

num = 1 + rand() % (14 - 1 + 1);
num2 = 1 + rand() % (14 - 1 + 1);

printf ("Welcome to deal or no deal.\nCases are 1 - 14");
printf ("\nEnter case number: ");
scanf ("%d", &a);
a=num*1000;
printf ("\nBanker's offer is %d", a);
printf ("\nD = Deal N = No Deal\nDeal or no deal? ");
scanf ("%",&test);
b=num2*1000;
printf ("\nThe case contains %d",b);
switch (test)

{
case 'd': case 'D': printf ("\nDeal"); break;
case 'n': case 'N': printf ("\nNo deal"); break;
case 'c': case 'C': return (0); break;

}
{
if ('d' || 'D')
{
if (a > b)
{
printf ("\nYou win");
}
else if (a < b)
{
printf ("\nYou lost");
}
else
{
printf ("Banker's offer and case is just the same");
}
}
else if ('n' || 'N')
{
if (a < b)
{
printf ("\nYou win");
}
else if (a > b)
{
printf ("\nYou lost");
}
else
{
printf ("Banker's offer and case is just the same");
}
}
}
getch ();

You want to use a switch statement where all of those hideous if/else/if blocks are.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
#include <conio.h>

int a,b;

main()
{
short unsigned int num = 0;
short unsigned int num2 = 0;
char test;
srand(time(NULL));

loot:

num = 1 + rand() % (14 - 1 + 1);
num2 = 1 + rand() % (14 - 1 + 1);

printf ("Welcome to deal or no deal.\nCases are 1 - 14");
printf ("\nEnter case number: ");
scanf ("%d", &a);
a=num*1000;
printf ("\nBanker's offer is %d", a);
printf ("\nD = Deal N = No Deal\nDeal or no deal? ");
scanf ("%",&test);
b=num2*1000;
printf ("\nThe case contains %d",b);
switch (test)

{
case 'd': case 'D': break;
case 'n': case 'N': break;
case 'c': case 'C': return (0); break;

}

if ('d' || 'D')

if (a > b)
{
printf ("\nYou win");
}
else if (a < b)
{
printf ("\nYou lost");
}
else
{
printf ("\nBanker's offer and case is just the same");
}

else if ('n' || 'N')

if (a < b)
{
printf ("\nYou win");
}
else if (a > b)
{
printf ("\nYou lost");
}
else
{
printf ("\nBanker's offer and case is just the same");
}

getch ();
}

Now I get the right response when I press D, but when I press N, not right response.

This is my latest code. Only made worse. Someone please please please help me out.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
#include <conio.h>

int a,b;

main()
{
short unsigned int num = 0;
short unsigned int num2 = 0;
char test;
srand(time(NULL));

num = 1 + rand() % (14 - 1 + 1);
num2 = 1 + rand() % (14 - 1 + 1);

printf ("Welcome to deal or no deal.\nCases are 1 - 14");
printf ("\nEnter case number: ");
scanf ("%d", &a);
a=num*1000;
printf ("\nBanker's offer is %d", a);
printf ("\nD = Deal N = No Deal\nDeal or no deal? ");
scanf ("%c",&test);
b=num2*1000;
printf ("\nThe case contains %d",b);
switch (test)

{
case 'd': case 'D': break;
case 'n': case 'N': break;
case 'c': case 'C': return (0); break;
}

if (test == 'd' || test == 'D')
{
if (a > b)
{
printf ("\nYou win");
}
else if (a < b)
{
printf ("\nYou lost");
}
else
{
printf ("\nBanker's offer and case is just the same");
}
}
else if (test == 'n' || test == 'N')
{
if (a < b)
{
printf ("\nYou win");
}
else if (a > b)
{
printf ("\nYou lost");
}
else
{
printf ("\nBanker's offer and case is just the same");
}
}
getch ();
}

Would be better if you test run it. Would help to figure what went wrong (which I can't really figure). Please someone save me!

YES! I got here before anyone else posted a final response!

Ok, d great one, go to http://bloodshed.net and download the latest version of their C++ Compiler Package. Then, after you unzip and install it, there should be an 'Examples' folder with another folder named 'Jackpot'. Open that up and edit it, it's the closest thing to deal or no deal that i have used.....=)

MavFan07 · Oct 26, 2008

first off why do you have (14-1+1)?...isn't that the same as (14+0) or just 14....anyway...

your not using the switch right...and you should use variables that better explain instead of arbitrary letters...

I already solved his problem via PM.

Useless thread is useless.
