Random Number Guessing Game

[Sheldon255]

Write your question here.
I am trying to get the user to enter the min number allowed and the max number allowed for the random number to generate between. I am also trying to get it to allow the user to enter the number of tries allowed.

  Put the code you need help with here.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "iostream"
#include "string"
#include <ctime>
#include <stdlib.h>           
#include <time.h>            

using namespace std;

int ChooseRandomNumber()
	return << rand()(maxBound - minBound0) + minBound;

int main(void) {
	srand(time(0));
	
	while(true) { 
		
		string minBoun;
		string maxBound;
		int number = rand() %100 +1;
		int guess; 
		int tries = 0;
		char answer;
		
		while(true) { 
			
			cout << "Enter a min number: " << minBound << endl;
			getline(cin, minBound);

			cout << "Enter a max number: " << maxBound << endl;
			getline(cin, maxBound);

			if(guess > number) {
				cout << "Too high! Try again.\n";
			} else if(guess < number) {
				cout << "Too low! Try again.\n";
			} else {
				break;
			}
		
			tries++;
		}
		
	
		if(tries >= 20) {
			cout << "You ran out of tries!\n\n";
		} else {
			
			cout<<"Congratulations!! " << std::endl;
			cout<<"You got the right number in " << tries << " tries!\n";
		}
		
		while(true) {
			
			cout << "Would you like to play again (Y/N)? ";
			cin >> answer;
			cin.ignore();
			
			
			if(answer == 'n' || answer == 'N' || answer == 'y' || answer == 'Y') {
				break;
			} else {
				cout << "Please enter \'Y\' or \'N\'...\n";
			}
		}
		
		
		if(answer == 'n' || answer == 'N') {
			cout << "Thank you for playing!";
			break;
		} else {
			cout << "\n\n\n";
		}
	}
	
	cout << "\n\nEnter anything to exit. . . ";
	cin.ignore();
	return 0;
}

- minBound and maxBound should be ints instead of strings.
- Enter the minBound and maxBound before line 21. Consider adding error checking here.
- Replace line 21 with code to compute a random number between minBound and maxBound.

Thank you, I will try that when I am back in school friday.
