Question

Create a program that will play the “cows and bulls” game with the user. The game works like this: Randomly generate a 4-digit number. Ask the user to guess a 4-digit number. For every digit that the user guessed correctly in the correct place, they have a “cow”. For every digit the user guessed correctly in the wrong place is a “bull.” Every time the user makes a guess, tell them how many “cows” and “bulls” they have. Once the user guesses the correct number, the game is over. Keep track of the number of guesses the user makes throughout the game and tell the user at the end. Say the number generated by the computer is 1038.

Answer 1

Welcome to the Cows and Bulls Game!

Enter a number:

>>> 1234

2 cows, 0 bulls

>>> 1256

1 cow, 1 bull

...

"""

import random

def compare_numbers(number, user_guess):

cowbull = [0,0] #cows, then bulls

for i in range(len(number)):

if number[i] == user_guess[i]:

cowbull[1]+=1

else:

cowbull[0]+=1

return cowbull

if __name__=="__main__":

playing = True #gotta play the game

number = str(random.randint(0,9999)) #random 4 digit number

guesses = 0

print("Let's play a game of Cowbull!") #explanation

print("I will generate a number, and you have to guess the numbers one digit at a time.")

print("For every number in the wrong place, you get a cow. For every one in the right place, you get a bull.")

print("The game ends when you get 4 bulls!")

print("Type exit at any prompt to exit.")

while playing:

user_guess = input("Give me your best guess!")

if user_guess == "exit":

break

cowbullcount = compare_numbers(number,user_guess)

guesses+=1

print("You have "+ str(cowbullcount[0]) + " cows, and " + str(cowbullcount[1]) + " bulls.")

if cowbullcount[1]==4:

playing = False

print("You win the game after " + str(guesses) + "! The number was "+str(number))

break #redundant exit

else:

print("Your guess isn't quite right, try again.")
