I am also working my way slowly through this book which I find quite
challenging. What I am thinking about at the moment is how to program for
the computer to guess the number which I select. I know it can be done but
I suspect it requires an approach which I have not yet learnt. I would
welcome suggestions on the best way to approach this problem.
