Question #1

Write a program that reads a positive integer n from the user and prints out a nXn multiplication table. The columns should be spaced by a tab.

Your program should interact with the user exactly as it shows in the following example:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

    int numEntered;

    cout << "Enter a positive integer: " << endl;
    cin >> numEntered;

    for(int i = 1; i <= numEntered; i++){
        for (int j = 1; j <= numEntered; j++){
            cout << i*j << "\t";
        }
        cout << endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

Question #2

Implement a number guessing game. The program should randomly choose an integer between 1 and 100 (inclusive), and have the user try to guess that number.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

const int ALLOWED_NUMBER_OF_GUESSES = 5;

int main() {

    int guessedNumber, randomNumber, attemptsToGuess = 0, fromRange = 1, toRange = 100;
    bool allowedToContinue = true, isProgramOver = false;

    srand(time(0));

    cout << "I thought of a number between 1 and 100! Try to guess it." << endl;
    randomNumber = (rand() % toRange) + 1;

    while(allowedToContinue && !isProgramOver){

        if(attemptsToGuess < ALLOWED_NUMBER_OF_GUESSES){
            cout << "Range: [" << fromRange <<", " <<  toRange <<  "], Number of guesses left: " << ALLOWED_NUMBER_OF_GUESSES - attemptsToGuess << endl;
            cout << "Your guess:";
            cin >> guessedNumber;

            attemptsToGuess++;

            if(guessedNumber < randomNumber){
                fromRange = guessedNumber + 1;
                cout << "Wrong! My number is bigger."<< endl<< endl;
            }else if(guessedNumber > randomNumber){
                toRange = guessedNumber - 1;
                cout << "Wrong! My number is smaller."<< endl<< endl;
            }else{
                isProgramOver = true;
                cout << "Congrats! You guessed my number in " << attemptsToGuess << " guess(es)." << endl;
            }
        }else{
            isProgramOver = true;
            allowedToContinue = false;
            cout << "Out of guesses! My number is " << randomNumber << endl;
        }

    }
    return 0;
}
