Hello I'm working on a version of Mastermind and I'm almost done. I tried implementing a "debug mode" where it would show the answer if a flag is entered as input. My implementation has gone very wrong as it's stuck in an infinite loop. The problem is in the function getGuess. any suggestions on a fix or alternate solution will be greatly appreciated
I updated the code with suggestions from you great people. but now upon executing I run into a segmentation error 11.

{
int i=0;
int k;
while (i < CODELENGTH){
MasterCode[i] =rand() %NUMSYMBOLS +1;
i++;
}//end while loop.
for ( k = 0 ; k < 4; k++ ) {
printf( "%d ", MasterCode[ k ] );
}
printf( "\n" );
