🔖 Background Information
The US / Canadian version of Bingo is a game where players mark numbers on cards as they are called out by a caller. Each player has a card with a 5 x 5 grid. The columns are labeled B-I-N-G-O from left to right. The center square is usually marked as a “free space”. A caller randomly draws numbered balls from 1 - 75 and announces each number to the crowd. Players then mark the corresponding numbers on their cards. You can win by marking off a complete horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, or by covering all numbers on the card (known as a full house). When a player completes a winning pattern, they shout “Bingo” to alert the caller. The caller then verifies the win.
In 75-ball Bingo, the numbers are:
| Letter | Number Range |
|---|---|
| B | 1 - 15 |
| I | 16 - 30 |
| N | 31 - 45 |
| G | 46 - 60 |
| O | 61 - 75 |
Some of the valid numbers that the caller might announce are “B7”, “G46”, or “O74”.
🎯 Problem Statement
Write a program that generates random numbers for 75-ball Bingo.
✅ Acceptance Criteria
- When I start the program, I should see a welcome message.
- The program should ask the user if they want to generate a number.
- If the user responds “yes”, the program should print out a valid number and then prompt the user again
- If the user responds “no”, the program should print out an exit message and then gracefully close
📋 Dev Notes
- You do NOT need to worry about removing duplicate numbers at the moment.
🖥️ Example Output
