More arguments in printf()

Hey everyone

I'm redesigning the random number guessing game and want to haev a statement that goes on the amount of guesses it took... This is the code I have so far:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <ctype.h>
                                                                                                 
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  int max_guess = 100, min_guess = 0, rand_num = 0;
  int guess = 0, num_of_guesses = 1;
  char temp[5];
                                                                                                 
  srand(time(NULL));
                                                                                                 
  if(argc > 1) {                /* Test for arguments */
    printf("%s: This program uses no arguments.\n", argv[0]);
    return 1;
  }
                                                                                                 
  rand_num = 1 + rand() % 100;
                                                                                                 
  do {
    printf("Please enter your guess: ");
    fgets(temp, sizeof(temp), stdin);
    sscanf(temp, "%d", &guess);
                                                                                                 
    if(guess < rand_num) {
       if(guess <= min_guess && min_guess != 0) {
         printf(":: Ignored: Your lowest is already %d ::\n", min_guess);
       } else {
         min_guess = guess;
         ++num_of_guesses;
         guess = 0;
       }
    } else if(guess > rand_num) {
      if(guess >= max_guess && max_guess != 0)
        printf(":: Ignored: Your highest is already %d ::\n", max_guess);
      else
        max_guess = guess;
        ++num_of_guesses;
        guess =0;
    }
 
    printf("Min: %d\tMax: %d\n", min_guess, max_guess);
  } while(guess != rand_num);
 
  printf("\n%s You got it in %d guess(s)\n", 
              num_of_guesses <= 3 ? "Great work." : "At least you finished.",
              num_of_guesses);
 
return 0;
}

What I wanna do is expand the amount of sayings: i.e. if the player guessed between 1 and 3 then have 1 saying, between 4 and 10 have another and another for over 10....

Is this possible?

if(rand_num == (1 || 2 || 3))
{printf("BLAH!");}

and so on.

Yeah I knew I could do that but wanted to know if it could be done the way I had it...

Thanks chewy

you can, just inside your current if statements:

if(guess<rand_num)
{
...
int insult = rnd(10);
talk_back(insult);
}

static void talk_back(int inslt)
{
switch(inslt)
{
case 1:
printf("MOTHER OF DOG YOUR STUPID!");
break;
case 2:
....
default:
printf("The coder is dumb for not haveing enough cases.");
break;
}
}
