Question

Overview In this assignment, you will gain more practice with designing a program. Specifically, you will create pseudocode for a higher/lower game. This will give you practice designing a more complex program and allow you to see more of the benefits that designing before coding can offer. The higher/lower game will combine different programming constructs that you have been learning about, such as input and output, decision branching, and a loop. IT 140 Higher/Lower Game Sample Output Overview Maria has asked you to create a program that prompts the user to enter the lower bound and the upper hound. You have decided to write pseudocode to design the program before actually developing the code. When run, the program should ask the user to guess a number. If the number guessed is lower than the random number, the program should print out a message like "Nope, too low." if the number guessed is higher than the random number, print out a message like "Nope, too high." If the number guessed is the same as the random number, print out a message like "You got it!" Higher/Lower Game Description Your friend Maria has come to you and said that she has been playing the higher/lower game with her three-year-old daughter Bella. Maria tells Bella that she is thinking of a number between 1 and 10, and then Bella tries to guess the number. When Bella guesses a number, Maria tells her whether the number she is thinking of is higher or lower or if Bella guessed it. The game continues until Bella guesses the right number. As much as Maria likes playing the game with Bella, Bella is very excited to play the game all the time, Maria thought it would be great if you could create a program that allows Bella to play the game as much as she wants. Note: The output messages you include in your pseudocode may differ slightly from these samples. Sample Output Below is one sample output of the program, with the user input demonstrated by bold font. Prompt For this assignment, you will be designing pseudocode for a higher/lower game program. The higher/lower game program uses similar constructs to the game you will design and develop in Projects One and TWO. Welcome to the higher/lower game, Bella! Enter the lower bound: 10 Enter the upper bound: 30 Great, now guess a number between 10 and 30: 20 Nope, too low Guess another number: 25 Nope, too high Guess another number: 23 You got it! Below is another sample output of your program, with the user input demonstrated by bold font 1. Review the Higher/Lower Game Sample Output for more detailed examples of this game. As you read, consider the following questions: What are the different steps needed in this program? How can you break them down in a way that a computer can understand? What information would you need from the user at each point (inputs)? What information would you output to the user at each point? When might it be a good idea to use 'F' and "IF ELSE' statements? When might it be a good idea to use loop? 2. Create pseudocode that logically outlines each step of the game program so that it meets the following functionality: Prompts the user to input the lower bound and upper bound. Include input validation to ensure that the lower bound is less than the upper bound. - Generates a random number between the lower and upper bounds Prompts the user to input a guess between the lower and upper bounds. Include input validation to ensure that the user only enters values between the lower and upper bound. Prints an output statement based on the puessed number. Be sure to account for each of the following situations through the use of decision branching . What should the computer output if the user guesses a number that is too low? . What should the computer output if the user guesses a number that is too high? - What should the computer output if the user guesses the right number? Loops so that the game continues prompting the user for a new number until the user guesses the correct number. Welcome to the higher/lower game, Bella! Enter the lower bound: 10 Enter the upper bound: 5 The lower bound must be less than the upper bound. Enter the lower bound: 10 Enter the upper bound: 20 Great, now guess a number between 10 and 20: 25 Nope, too high Guess another number: 15 Nope, too low. Guess another number: 17 You got it! Sutrnil your completed pseudocode as a Word document of approximately 1 to 2 pages in length.

Answer 1

Answer:

Pseudocode

lower = upper = 0

while lower > upper

   input lower

   input upper

   if lower > upper

       print "Lower bound is greater than upper bound"

randNum = generate_a_random_number

print "Guess a number between",lower,"and",upper

input num

while num <> randNum

   if num > randNum:

       print "Nope, too high"

   else:

       print "Nope, too low"

   input num

print "Great; you got it!"

Program in Python

import random

lower = upper = 0

while True:

   lower = int(input("Lower Bound: "))

   upper = int(input("Upper Bound: "))

   if lower < upper:

       break

   else:

       print("Lower bound is greater than upper bound")

randNum = random.randint(lower, upper)

print("Great; now guess a number between",lower,"and",upper)

num = int(input("Take a guess: "))

while num != randNum:

   if num > randNum:

       print("Nope, too high")

   else:

       print("Nope, too low")

   num = int(input("Take another guess: "))

print("Great; you got it!")

Write a pseudocode and a program to design a higher/lower game

See answer section for the pseudocode and the program (written in Python)

The pseudocode and the program follow the same pattern; so, I will only explain the program.
