[Tutor] guess my number game (reversed)
Hello.
I am very new to learning Python, and I would need some help with a little
game I am trying to write. I am trying to write a game where the user is
asked to think of a number from 1 to a 100, and the computer tries to guess
it. Now, after every guess I would want the programme to ask whether its
guess is right, too low, or too high, and then take another guess based on
the user's input. The programme works fine if the it guesses the number
right on its first try, but when the users inputs "too low" or "too high"
an infinite loop is returned. I thinkI have done something wrong in my
while loop and that my sentry variable is somehow wrong -but I can't seem
to be able to fix it!
Any help or commments would be very appreciated.
Below is the code written so far
Many thanks
Chiara
print("think of a number from 1 to 100")
print("I will try and guess it!")
import random
number = random.randint(1,100)
print(number)
answer = input("is this right, too high, or too low?")
while answer != "right":
if answer == "too high":
number2 = random.randint(1,number)
print(number2)
elif answer == "too low":
number3 = random.randint(number,100)
print(number3)
print("I finally guessed your number. Thank you for playing")
input("\n\nPress enter key to exit")

Nope, it's simpler than that.
You only ask the user for input once, outside the loop.
Move the input() statement inside the loop before the if
statements and all should be well. (You will also need to
initialise answer to some value - an empty string
say - before entering the while loop.)

Re: [Tutor] guess my number game (reversed)
Add a new variable named "number of guesses", increase it each time
and break the loop when it reaches, for example 10. This means user
can have 10 guesses max. If they couldn't guess the number, they are
losers!
You also could do the opposite: have number of guesses=10 in the
beginning and decrease it by 1 each time till it reaches zero.
