The Five Steps

What is this program supposed to do?: The problem statement is pretty clear. The program should play this guessing game.
What kind of information is it given? (What is the input?): The input is the set of player guesses, one at a time, until the player either gets the number, or runs out of guesses.
What kind of results is it to produce? (What is the output?): The output is a hint after each wrong guess telling the player if their guess is too high or too low.
What formulas or techniques will be needed?: Most of the operation of the game is straightforward - we compare the player's guess with the stored number. One tricky thing we will have to worry about is generating the random number.
