Hello /prog/.

I know very little about C++. and my only other experience with programming is a calculator in freeBasic.

I studied how to programm a guessing game from the internets but my 4.9.9.2 Dev C++ fail to compile it.

this is what i wrote:

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;

int main(void){
   
    int UPPER_LIMIT;
    int random;
    int userguess;
    char playAgain;
    srand(static_cast<unsigned int>(time(0)));
    random = rand()%20+1;
   
    do{
                           
    while(userguess !== random){
   
    cout << "Please enter a number between 1 - 20: ";
    cin >> userguess
   
    if(userguess == random){
                 cout << "wow good job you guessed right." <<endl;
                 }
                
    else if(userguess > random){
    cout << "that number is too low" <<endl;
    system("CLS");
}
        
    else if(userguess < random){
         cout << "that number is too high" <<endl;
    system("CLS");
   
    }
}

cout << "Do you wish to play again? y//n: ";
cin >> playAgain;


} while(tolower(playAgain == 'y');


getch();
return 0;
}

PLEEAASE HAAALP /PROG/.
Thanks in advance.

This is a good question. When you come down to it, the C family of languages is simply an ad hoc, grab-bag, random assortment of shift-characters masquerading as serious programming, with no internal consistency, context-sensitive grammar, and sad lack of referential transparency. It's one thing for English, Japanese, or !Kung to be all fucked up, they're natural languages that evolved over thousands of years, but programming languages are intentionally created by people. There's no excuse.
