[ramu]

Hi,
can anyone please give me an algorithm to implement cows and
bulls game which takes minimum number of passes to guess the 4 digit
number?

regards

That's not actually a question about C: that's a question about
algorithms. I suggest that you try a newsgroup that deals with
algorithms, such as one of the comp.programming newsgroups.

The comp.lang.c newsgroup deals mostly with questions about the
C language itself. If you come up with a particular implementation
of the algorithm and you are having trouble debugging it, then
people here are likely to help... once there is already a program
to look at.

Place cows in field A, bulls in field B, open gate between. Watch.
