GUESS NUMBER

CPU will identify the number in your mind given some clues.

Description

1. THINK OF A NUMBER BETWEEN 1 TO 63.
2. CPU SHOWS SOME TABLES WHERE U NEED TO TELL WHEATHER UR NUMBER IS THERE OR NOT.
3. FINALLY CPU IDENTIFIES UR NUMBER.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 6.5 (R13)

A cute variation on bisective search.

First, some minor flaws that can be repaired by better programming practice:

- When the computer finally guesses your result, it leaves you hanging, with no button for a new game. You must close the figure and restart it yourself.

- If you close the window before the computer is done, an error results.

- Since you are always presented with EXACTLY 32 numbers in the sample, why are there always 36 slots provided, with 4 of the numbers as zero?

- Why is the mouse pointer set to crosshairs? (Silly answer: becuase this code uses ginput, for no valid reason.) There is no need to use ginput, just to get button clicks.

A more serious flaw is this code is a script, that starts out by CLEARING your matlab workspace, then leaves behind a lot of trash in the variables it has used. This is just poor programming practice. It alone is usually enough for me to give a code a poor(1) rating. I wanted to rate this code as a Good(4) before I noticed that all of my work had been deleted.

Agree with D'Errico comments. But well thought algorithm.
