why does'nt the ```cpp
bool playGame funcion did'nt execute ?
#include <iostream>
#include <random>

bool
playGame(int guesses, int number) {

for (int count{}; count <= guesses; ++count) {
if (number >= guesses)
std::cout << "Your guess is too high\n";
return true;

if (number <= guesses)
  std::cout << "Your guess is too low\n";
return true;
;

}
}

bool playAgain() {
std::cout << "Would you like to play again y/n\n";
char ch{};
std::cin >> ch;

if (ch == 'y')
return true;
else if (ch == 'n')
return false;
}

int main() {
std::random_device rd;
std::seed_seq ss{rd(), rd(), rd(), rd(), rd(), rd(), rd(), rd()};
std::mt19937 mt{ss}; // initializtion of seed_seq
std::uniform_int_distribution die{1, 100};

constexpr int guesses{7}; // the user has this many guesses

do {
int number{die(mt)}; // this is the number the user needs to guess

std::cout << "Let's play a game. I'm thinking of a number between 1 and "
             "100. You have "
          << guesses << " tries to guess what it is.\n";

bool won{playGame(guesses, number)};
if (won)
  std::cout << "Correct! You win!\n";
else
  std::cout << "Sorry, you lose. The correct number was " << number << '\n';

} while (playAgain());

std::cout << "Thank you for playing.\n";
}

It'd be cool to train a model to better identify code blocks, but, it'd be a tad tricky

little edge
# 
   bool
    playGame(int guesses, int number) {
  for (int count{}; count <= guesses; ++count) {
    if (number >= guesses)
      std::cout << "Your guess is too high\n";
    return true;

    if (number <= guesses)
      std::cout << "Your guess is too low\n";
    return true;
    ;
  }
}```
This is pretty cursed formatting

clang format got thrown off by the bool playGame funcion did'nt execute ? being included in the source

#

but yes

I don't know tbh. bool won{playGame(guesses, number)}; doesn't look very standard but it should work. Have you tried a more standard syntax bool won = playGame(guesses, number); and have you gone through your program with a debugger?
