Question

"Simon Says" is a memory game where "Simon" outputs a sequence of 10 characters (R, G, B, Y) and the user must repeat the sequence. Create a for loop that compares the two strings starting from index 0. For each match, add one point to userScore. Upon a mismatch, exit the loop using a break statement. Assume simonPattern and userPattern are always the same length.

Ex: The following patterns yield a userScore of 4:

simonPattern: RRGBRYYBGY

userPattern: RRGBBRYBGY

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

int main(void) {

char simonPattern[50];

char userPattern[50];

int userScore;

int i;

userScore = 0;

scanf("%s", simonPattern);

scanf("%s", userPattern);

/* Your solution goes here */

printf("userScore: %d\n", userScore);

return 0;

}

Answer 1

#include 

#include 

int main(void) {

char simonPattern[50];

char userPattern[50];

int userScore;

int i;

userScore = 0;

scanf("%s", simonPattern);

scanf("%s", userPattern);

for(i = 0;i<10;i++){
   if(simonPattern[i]!=userPattern[i]){
      userScore=i;
      break;
   }
}

printf("userScore: %d\n", userScore);

return 0;

}

Output:

RRGBRYYBGY RRGBBRYBGY userScore: 4
