This is just a little number guessing game. I know it's simple but I am a newbie in C and I think such a little example can be enough for finding simple design flaws that can than be eleminated.
If you know how parts of the code can be written more beautiful and more safe, please let me know!
/*
* In this program the user has to guess a number between 1 and 99.
* He has six tries.
*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
int generate_random_number(int lower_range, int upper_range)
srand(time(0));
return (rand() % (upper_range - lower_range + 1)) + lower_range;
// this function stops the program until useless input is entered
void pause()
int useless;
scanf("%i", &useless);
int main()
// generate random number
const int lower_range = 1;
const int upper_range = 99;
const int random_number = generate_random_number(lower_range, upper_range);
// start of game
printf("You have to guess a number between 1 and 99.n");
printf("You have six tries.n");
const int tries = 6;
for (int i = 0; i < tries; i++)
printf("> ");
int guess;
scanf("%i", &guess);
if (guess > random_number)
printf("The secret number is smaller.n");
else if (guess < random_number)
printf("The secret number is highern");
else if (guess == random_number)
printf("You found the secret number!n");
pause();
return 0;
printf("You haven't found the secret number.n");
printf("The secret number was %i.n", random_number);
pause();
