C++ in Xcode

Given the numbers 1 to 1000, what is the minimum number of guesses needed to find a specific number if you are given the hint higher or lower for each guess you make?

Read the question carefully and youll note that the question asks for the minimum number of guesses. Think about it someone can guess the right question on their first try right?

So, the answer here would be 1, since it would take only one correct guess to find a specific number.
