About Number Guesser

Play the Number Guesser game online. The computer picks a random number, and you have to guess it with the help of higher/lower hints. How quickly can you find the number?

How to Play

The computer will pick a random number within a range. Enter your guess, and the computer will tell you if the actual number is higher or lower. Try to find the number in as few guesses as possible.

Binary Search Strategy

The most efficient way to find the number is using a binary search algorithm:

1. Start by guessing the middle of the range (e.g., 50 for a range of 1-100).
2. If your guess is too high, the number must be in the lower half of the range.
3. If your guess is too low, the number must be in the upper half of the range.
4. Continue this process, each time eliminating half of the remaining numbers.
5. With this strategy, you can find any number in a range of 1-100 in at most 7 guesses.

This game is not just fun but also teaches an important computer science concept used in many algorithms!
