Question

Write a program that plays a guessing game with the user. The program should generate a
random number between 1 and some maximum (such as 100), then prompt the user repeatedly to
guess the number. When the user gives a wrong guess then computer should hint the user if the
correct answer is higher or lower than the guess. Once the user guesses it correctly, then your
program should print a message indicating the number of guesses.

Here is a sample output:
This program allows you to play a guessing game.
I will think of a number between 1 and 100
and will allow you to guess until you get it.
For each guess, I will tell you whether the
right answer is higher or lower than your guess.

I'm thinking of a number...
Your guess? 50
lower
Your guess? 25
lower
Your guess? 12
You got it right in 3 guesses

Do you want to play again? yes
