Revision as of 22:52, 24 October 2013
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
This is an old game played with pencil and paper that was later implemented on computer.
The task is for the program to create a four digit random number from the digits 1 to 9, without duplication. The program should ask for guesses to this number, reject guesses that are malformed, then print the score for the guess.
The score is computed as:
- The player wins if the guess is the same as the randomly chosen number, and the program ends.
- A score of one bull is accumulated for each digit in the guess that equals the corresponding digit in the randomly chosen initial number.
- A score of one cow is accumulated for each digit in the guess that also appears in the randomly chosen number, but in the wrong position.

Example game (cheating!):
Bulls and Cows Game
-------------------
You must guess the 4 digit number I am thinking of.
The number is composed of the digits 1-9.
No digit appears more than once.
After each of your guesses, I will tell you:
The number of bulls (digits in right place)
The number of cows (correct digits, but in wrong place)
Your guess #1: 1234
Bulls: 0, cows: 2
Your guess #2: 5678
Bulls: 1, cows: 1
Your guess #3: 3167
Bulls: 0, cows: 3
Your guess #4: 9123
Bulls: 1, cows: 1
Your guess #5: 5137
Bulls: 1, cows: 3
Your guess #6: 5317
Bulls: 2, cows: 2
Your guess #7: 5731
Bulls: 2, cows: 2
Your guess #8: 5713
Bulls: 4, cows: 0
You win! Guesses needed: 8

The computer has selected a number that consists of four different digits.
As you are guessing the number, "bulls" and "cows" will be awarded: a "bull" for each digit that is placed in the correct position, and a "cow" for each digit that occurs in the number, but in a different place.
For a guess, enter 4 digits. Any other input is interpreted as "I give up".
Your guess: 1234 You guessed 1234. That earns you 1 cow. Your guess: 5678 You guessed 5678. That earns you 1 cow. Your guess: 9815 You guessed 9815. That earns you 1 cow. Your guess: 9824 You guessed 9824. That earns you 2 cows. Your guess: 9037 You guessed 9037. That earns you 1 bull and 2 cows. Your guess: 9048 You guessed 2789. That earns you 1 bull and 2 cows. Your guess: 2079 You guessed 2079. That earns you 1 bull and 3 cows. Your guess: 2709 You guessed 2709. That earns you 2 bulls and 2 cows. Your guess: 0729 You guessed 0729. That earns you 4 cows.

REXX
Version 1
This REXX version of Bulls and Cows doesn't allow repeated digits (in the computer-generated number),
nor the use of the zero digit.
To allow a zero digit, see the comment about the random bif invocation.
To allow repeated digits in the computer-generated number, delete the REXX statement if pos(r,?)....

Version 2
<lang rexx> /*REXX program to play the game of "Bulls & Cows". *******************
- Changes from Version 1:
- ?= -> qq= (righthandside mandatory and I never use ? as symbol -
- although it is available on all Rexxes)
- implemented singular/plural distinction differently
- change getRand to avoid invalid digit rejection
- check user's input for multiple digits
- add feature MM to ease guessing (MM=Mastermind - a similar game)
- add feature ? to see the solution (for the impatient player)
- program runs as is on ooRexx and on TSO (after changing | to !)
- Made source and output more compact
- formatted source 'my way' 2 July 2012 Walter Pachl
