// FILE: guess.cxx
// Demostrates a guessing game function that's used as a time analysis example.

#include <cassert>         // Provides assert
#include <iostream>        // Provides cout and cin
#include <cstdlib>         // Provides EXIT_SUCCESS
using namespace std;       // Allows all Standard Library items to be used

// Prototype for the function used in this demonstration program
void guess_game(int n);
// Precondition: n > 0.
// Postcondition: The user has been asked to think of a number between 1 and n.
// The function asks a series of questions, until the number is found.
