Guess the Number Game (Java)

Project Overview

This project is a simple console-based Java game where the computer generates a random number between 1 and 100, and the player tries to guess the number. The program gives hints such as Hot or Cold depending on how close the guess is to the actual number.

This project is useful for beginners to understand core Java programming concepts like loops, conditional statements, user input, and random number generation.

Game Rules

• The computer generates a random number between 1 and 100
• The player enters a number as a guess
• If the guess is exactly equal to the generated number → the player wins
• If the guess is within ±10 range of the number → output Hot
• If the guess is more than 10 away from the number → output Cold
• The player has unlimited attempts until the correct number is guessed

---

Technologies Used

• Java
• Scanner Class (User Input)
• Random Class (Random Number Generation)
• Conditional Statements (if, else if, else)
• While Loop
• Math.abs() Method
