Day 10: Rustic Riddles - Unleashing the Number Guessing Game 🎲

Greetings, code sorcerers! On Day 10 of my #100DaysOfCode Rust saga, I summoned a magical project – a number-guessing game! 🧙‍♂️✨ Let's unravel the secrets and unveil the new spells I've learned.

---

The Ritual of Randomness 🎲

In the heart of the code incantation lies the mysterious rand crate, a tool for conjuring random numbers. The gen_range method, like a wand, whispers enchantments to summon a number between 1 and 100.

let random_number: u8 = rand::thread_rng().gen_range(1..=100);

---

Dancing with User Input 💃🕺

The mystical dance with user input begins! A loop enchants the user to guess the lucky number, showcasing the art of spellbinding user interactions.

let mut user_input = String::new();
io::stdin()
    .read_line(&mut user_input)
    .expect("Failed to read the input, please try again");

---

Weaving the Threads of Logic 🧵

The incantation of logic ensures that only valid guesses are considered. A match spell checks the user's input, transforming mistakes into graceful prompts.

match user_input.trim().parse() {
    Ok(num) if num >= 1 && num <= 100 => num,
    _ => {
        println!("Please enter a valid number between 1 and 100!");
        continue;
    }
};

---

Dueling with the Enigmatic Ordering 🤺

The duel with Ordering unfolds – a mystical confrontation between user input and the elusive lucky number.

match user_input.cmp(&random_number) {
    Ordering::Less => println!("The lucky number is greater than you have entered!"),
    Ordering::Greater => println!("The lucky number is smaller than you have entered!"),
    Ordering::Equal => {
        // Victory!
        println!("You guessed the correct number in {} guesses", no_of_guesses);
        break;
    }
}

Final Code

use rand::Rng;
use std::cmp::Ordering;
use std::io;
use std::time::Duration;

fn main() {
    let random_number: u8 = rand::thread_rng().gen_range(1..=100);
    let mut no_of_guesses: u8 = 0;

    loop {
        let mut user_input = String::new();
        no_of_guesses += 1;

        println!("Guess the lucky number between 1 and 100...");
        io::stdin()
            .read_line(&mut user_input)
            .expect("Failed to read the input, please try again");

        let user_input: u8 = match user_input.trim().parse() {
            Ok(num) if num >= 1 && num <= 100 => num,
            _ => {
                println!("Please enter a valid number between 1 and 100!");
                continue;
            }
        };

        match user_input.cmp(&random_number) {
            Ordering::Less => println!("The lucky number is greater than you have entered!"),
            Ordering::Greater => println!("The lucky number is smaller than you have entered!"),
            Ordering::Equal => {
                println!("The lucky number is {}", random_number);
                println!(
                    "You guessed the correct number in {} guesses",
                    no_of_guesses
                );
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_secs(2));
}

A Lesson in Perpetual Learning 📘

As the project concludes, I reflect on the undeniable truth in the realm of coding – learning is a journey with endless paths. There are myriad ways to achieve the same result, each unveiling a new facet of the magical world of programming.

Embrace the magic, my fellow sorcerers! 🚀💻✨
