Prompt

For this assignment, you will be designing pseudocode for a higher$/$lower game program. The higher$/$lower game program uses similar constructs to the game you will design and develop in Projects One and Two.

$1.$ Review the Higher$/$Lower Game Sample Output PDF for more detailed examples of this game. As you read, consider the following questions:

$-$ What are the different steps needed in this program? How can you break them down in a way that a computer can understand?

$-$ What information would you need from the user at each point $($inputs$)?$ What information would you output to the user at each point?

$-$ When might it be a good idea to use $"$IF$"$ and $"$IF ELSE" statements?

$-$ When might it be a good idea to use loops?

$2.$ Create pseudocode that logically outlines each step of the game program so that it meets the following functionality:

$-$ Prompts the user to input the lower bound and upper bound. Include input validation to ensure that the lower bound is less than the upper bound.

$-$ Generates a random number between the lower and upper bounds

$-$ Prompts the user to input a guess between the lower and upper bounds. Include input validation to ensure that the user only enters values between the lower and upper bound.

$-$ Prints an output statement based on the guessed number. Be sure to account for each of the following situations through the use of decision branching:

$-$ What should the computer output if the user guesses a number that is too low?

$-$ What should the computer output if the user guesses a number that is too high?

$-$ What should the computer output if the user guesses the right number?

$-$ Loops so that the game continues prompting the user for a new number until the user guesses the correct number.
