While loop???

Write a script that generates a random integer number between 1 and 10 (you will need to use rand and round(...)functions. Prompt player to guess number. Using a while loop, continue prompting the user until the correct number is guessed. Output both the correct number and the number of guesses.

ask=input('Enter a number between 1 and 10:');

number=1+round(rand*(9));

total=0;

while ask~=number

    if(number<1 || number>10);
        disp('Invalid')
        total=guess+1;
        ask=input('Enter a number between 1 and 10:');
    else
        if(ask==number)
        fprintf('% is correct',ask);
    else
        fprintf('%is incorrect',ask);
        guess=input('Enter a number between 1 and 10:');
        end
        total=total+1;
    end
end
fprintf('Your answer is correct %g',ask==number);

what is your question?

I didn't know where to start, so look at this. I tried to preserve your code as much as possible

[edit]

clc;clear
number=1+round(rand*(9));
guess = 0;
total=0;

while guess~=number

      if(guess<1 || guess>10);
          disp('Invalid')
               % removed elseif case here based on Fangjun's comment
      else
          disp('incorrect, guess again');
      end

      total=total+1;
      guess = input('Enter a number between 1 and 10:');
  end
  fprintf('You guessed the correct number %g in %g attempts\n',guess,total);

I think "elseif(guess == number)" is not needed.

@Fangjun

you are correct, it has been a long day. I'd vote for you comment :)

[Fangjun Jiang]

That's all right. It's a homework assignment. But the OP has shown enough effort.

Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

One more challenge, as of now, it always display 'Invalid' at the beginning. How to eliminate that message or any other invalid message?
