correctly in the correct place, they have a “cow”. For every digit the user guessed correctly in the wrong place is a
“bull.” Every time the user makes a guess, tell them how many “cows” and “bulls” they have. Once the user
guesses the correct number, the game is over. Keep track of the number of guesses the user makes throughout the
game and tell the user at the end. Say the number generated by the computer is 1038. An example interaction
