#The Guess My Number Game

#The computer picks a random number between 1 and 50
#The player tries to guess it and the computer lets
#the player know if the guess is too high, too low
#or right on the money
#If the player fails to guess the number after 5 tries
#the game ends and the computer prints a chastising message
#
import random
print """\t\t\tWelcome to \"Guess My Number\"!
\nThink of a number between 1 and 50.
I will try to guess it in as few attempts as possible.\n"""
number = input ("Enter the number: ")
#the computer guesses the number using the random function
guess = random.randrange (50) + 1
tries = 1
useds = []
#FIXED
while (guess != number):
if (guess > number):
print "You chose", guess, "the number is Lower ..."
useds.append(guess)
else:

useds.append(guess)
guess = random.randrange (50) + 1

It should work now. Cheers! =]

I have been trying to write a guess my number game (using Michael Dawsons book), where the computer guesses the number that I thought of. Here is my code so far,#The Guess My Number Game

The program works ok, but the computer sometimes repeats the same numbers when asked to guess. How can I rewrite it so that it guesses like what a human being does i.e. if the number is less than 20, you do not guess numbers above 20.
Thanks for your help.
