Output from the
GuessANumber Program
in Example 5.6
I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10. What is your guess? 2
The number was 10
You missed it by a mile!
Better luck next time.
On line 34, we used the abs method of the Math class to determine
whether the guess was within three integers of the secret number. By
taking the absolute value of the difference between the guess and the
secret number, we dont need to worry about which number is higher
than the other; we will always receive a positive difference from the abs
method.
Figure 5.11 shows the output of a sample run of this program.
