c - program using the rand () function -

i want make simple program in rand() function generates random number out of 1,2,3 , user asked predict number. if user predicts number correctly wins otherwise looses. here's program-

#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h>  int main() {     int game;     int i;     int x;      printf("enter expected value(0,1,2)");     scanf("%d\n",&x);     for(i=0;i<1;i++){         game=(rand()%2) + 1          if(x==game){             printf("you win!");         }          else{             printf("you loose!");         }     } return 0;  } 

some issues code:

point 1:

    scanf("%d\n",&x); 

should be

    scanf("%d",&x); 

point 2:

for(i=0;i<1;i++) 

this loop practically useless. iterates one. either use longer counter, or rid of loop.

point 3:

it's better provide unique seed prng. may want use srand() , time(null) in function provide seed.

point 4:

game=(rand()%2) + 1 

should be

game = rand() % 3; // ; maybe typo in case                 ^                 |           %3 generates either of (0,1,2) 

point 5:

when use % rand(), aware of modulo bias issue.

note:

1. the recommended signature of main() int main(void).
2. always initialize local variables. practice.
