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;
strcpy(simonPattern, "RRGBRYYBGY");
strcpy(userPattern, "RRGBBRYBGY");

/* Your solution goes here */

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

return 0;
}

int main(void) {

char simonPattern[50];
char userPattern[50];
int userScore;
int i;

userScore = 0;
strcpy(simonPattern, "RRGBRYYBGY");
strcpy(userPattern, "RRGBBRYBGY");

/* Your solution goes here */

      for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
          if (simonPattern[i] == userPattern[i]) {
              userScore = userScore + 1;
          } 
          else
              break;
      }

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

return 0;
