Hope may of you are aware of the game Cow & Bull, but those who are not here are the rules
1) Computer will generate a 4 digit number which you need to guess in less than 10 chances
2) This number will not start from 0
3) All digits of the number will be unique (no digit will repeat)
For example:
1234 - is correct
0234 - is wrong
3445 - is wrong
Now user will input a 4 digit number which doesn't starts with 0 and all digits are unique. Computer will then compare with it's generated number and tell you the count of cows and bulls.
What is Cow and Bull
1) Cow: When digits of your number matches digits of computer's generated number on same index
For example: Computer generated > 4580
Your guess > 4619
Count of cows will be one as only one digit matches on same index.
If your guess is > 4689
Then count of cows will be 2 as "4" and "8" both matches at same index
2) Bull: When digit of your number matches digits of computer's generated number but not on same index
For example: Computer generated > 4580
Your guess > 6419
Count of bulls will be one as only one digit ("4") matches (but on same index).
If your guess is > 4689
Then count of bulls will be 2 as "4" and "8" both matches (but on same index)
So if you guessed 4851, then there is ONE cow ("4") and TWO bulls ("8" and "5")

1) Enter 4 digit number which have all digits unique and is not starting from 0 <br/><br/>
2) Cows: Digits from your number matches computer's number at same index <br/>
e.g: You Enter -> 1234 and Computer Number -> 1960 <br/>
1 matches on same index so it will be counted as cow <br/><br/>
3) Bulls: Digits from your number matches computer's number but not on same index <br/>
e.g: You Enter -> 1234 and Computer Number -> 9120 <br/>
1 and 2 matches but not on same index so it will be counted as bull
