About the Lesson

Crack the Code is a code breaking game. Each time you play the game, a 5 number code is generated. The sum for the five numbers and the number of odds is displayed on the screen.  Each time you guess an integer, the program searches through the secret code for a match.  If a match is found, that space is revealed on your guess code.  Once you have guessed all the numbers correctly, the code is displayed as well as the number of guesses it took to break the code.
