Guess the secret number
Number Guessing is a simple game where the computer picks a random number and you try to guess it. The computer gives hints ("too high" or "too low") to help you narrow down the correct answer. Number guessing teaches probability and binary search concepts. With the hints system, optimal strategy reduces guessing count significantly. Our Number Guessing game features: configurable number range (1-10, 1-100, 1-1000), guess counter tracking how many tries you used, hint system showing whether guess is too high or too low, statistics tracking best performance, and difficulty levels. Players enjoy the challenge of finding the number efficiently. Computer scientists learn binary search concepts. Mathematicians analyze optimal guessing strategy. Educators use it to teach probability and algorithms. Optimal strategy is binary search: guess middle of remaining range, use feedback to eliminate half of possibilities. Most efficient guessing minimizes number of tries.
Binary search: guess the middle of remaining range. Always eliminates half of possibilities.
With binary search: log₂(N) guesses for N numbers. For 1-100: max 7 guesses.
Feedback eliminates possibilities, narrowing search space. Each guess should optimally split remaining options.
Yes, using computer's random number generator. Every number in range has equal probability.
