Suggest removing the explicit invokation of 'conditional loop', as some languages' syntax don't use that syntax. (I'm thinking of logic languages and, I think, functional languages.) A more precise description might be, "The program randomly chooses a number [1-10]. The program then keeps asking the user to guess what that number is until the user inputs that number as their guess." --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 14:32, 29 October 2010 (UTC) |

I think you really get the most pleasing message sequence when using techniques from Loops/N plus one half, except that instead of a fixed limit, you have a dynamic one. –Donal Fellows 21:15, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
dupe? (sort of)
I think this task is already covered in Bulls and Cows, but with more functionality. Could this be a dupe? --Mwn3d 21:26, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
