Hello! So, for lab 3 exercise 1, I wanted to add user attempts based on their input range, as I have previously done this as a python exercise. With python it's a bit simpler, like so: min_num_guesses = round(math.log2(B - A + 1)). I have had a look and found that with java.lang.math, it only uses base 10 or e. I know that to change the base to 2 it would just be to divide log(x) by log(2) but I can't quite figure out how to implement this?

For anyone interested, I have attached my results:)

import java.util.Scanner; import java.util.Random; import java.lang.Math; public class Guess_the_Number { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter your lower starting range number: "); int num1 = sc.nextInt(); System.out.println("Enter you higher end range number: "); int num2 = sc.nextInt(); System.out.println("Great! Now guess the secret number between " + num1 + " and " + num2 + "."); Random r = new Random(); int secretNumber = r.nextInt(num1, num2); int a = 2; float num = (float) (Math.log(num2 - num1 + 1) / Math.log(a)); int numberGuesses = (int) Math.ceil(num); System.out.println("You have " + numberGuesses + " tries."); int count = 0; while (count < numberGuesses) { count++; System.out.println("What is your guess? "); int guess = sc.nextInt(); if (guess == secretNumber) { System.out.println("Congrats! The number was " + secretNumber + " you did it in " + count + " tries!"); break; } if (guess > secretNumber) { System.out.println("You guessed too high! Guess again."); } if (guess < secretNumber) { System.out.println("You guessed too low! Try again."); } } if (count > numberGuesses) { System.out.println("Out of guesses! The number is " + secretNumber); System.out.println("Better luck next time!"); } } }
