keeping a tally
what is the code needed to keep a running tally on a game? i have created a random letter generator and i have coded it so that the user gets 4 attempts to guess the letter. i have all that coded in and working great. i have created a loop allowing the game to run as many times as the user says it's ok to run. i can't figure the coding out to tally the wins/loses.

Re: keeping a tally
Outside of your loop, create a variable for wins and one for losses. Within the loop, after an event happens which would tally a win or loss, just add one to the variable.
int wins = 0; int losses = 0; //within loop: wins = wins + 1; //or losses = losses +1;
If you posted your code, it may be a little easier to help.
