Many people had play the game mastermind before. There is a systematically way to play the game.
I have made an applet that will solve a number between 0000 and 9999.
The user need to give the value of p and c for the applet to make the next guess.
The value of p is the number of digits that are both position and numerically correct.
The value of c is the number of digits that is only numerically correct.
The method is described below.
1)Let PRESENT_GUESS=0000
2)Get user input for P and C
3)If P=4 then EXIT
4)PRESENT_GUESS=PRESENT_GUESS+1
5)If PRESENT_GUESS statisfy all values of P and C for each previous guess then GOTO 2
6)GOTO 4
