Thank you, however I feel that using the
case 'y','Y':
demonstrates another feature that C/C++ doesn't have. I'm aware of those two functions. ...although in the middle of testing this I realized that "guesses=0" should have been "guesses=1". Whoops.

Nice, but just a little thing:

switch(toUpper(returned)) {
case 'Y': break checkLoop;
case 'H': {low=guess; break;}
case 'L': {high=guess; break;}
default: break;
}

PS: Yeah you can you tolower() too!

This piece is something I wrote quickly for /r/dailyprogrammer (By the
way, is the person who has been posting D solutions to that on here?)
It's a really simple piece, but it shows %s, breaking from a loop from
inside a switch, etc.
