The Game of High-Low Is One Where One Person Selects

question 34

Essay

The game of high-low is one where one person selects a number between 1 and 100 and a user tries to guess it by guessing a number and being told if the guessed number is the right number, too low or too high. The user repeats guessing until getting the correct answer. A logical user will always guess at the midpoint of the possible values (for instance, the first guess is 50 followed by either 25 or 75, etc). Write a recursive method to play the game of high-low by having the computer guess a mid point. The method should receive three parameters, the number itself, the lowest value in the range and the highest value in the range and return the number of guesses that it took to guess the right number.
