Hello all,
I am currently reading through the Tutorial for Non-Programers by Josh
Cogliati. I have had great success until now.
The exercise to modify a number guessing program from a fixed number "number
= 78" to using the time module and use the seconds at the time the program
is used to be the number. (i.e. if the clock on your computer says 7:35:25
then it would take the 25 and place it in "number".
The following is what I have so far:
#*********************************************
#
# hilow2.py
#
# This program asks the user to guess a
# number. If it is wrong the program tells
# the user if it is higher or lower. The
# first one had a fixed assigned number.
# This program takes the last two digits
# of the time and assigns it as the random
# number.
#
#*********************************************
#*****************.h header files******************
#*********************************************
#******************modules*********************
from time import time, ctime
#*********************************************
#**************define lists/dictionaries**************
#*********************************************
#****************define functions*****************
#*********************************************
#*************define global variables***************
the_time = ctime()
number = the_time
guess = 0
guess_try = 0
#*********************************************
#****************Main Program******************
while guess != number:
guess = input("Guess a number:")
if guess != number:
if guess > number :
print "To High"
elif guess < number:
print "To Low"
guess_try = guess_try + 1
print "Bingo! You are correct."
print "It only took you",guess_try,"tries."
#*********************************************
I think it has to do with the fact that I am using the wrong time function
and am not familiar with how to cut out the seconds and send it to the
variable number.
I believe I should use the strftime(format[,t]) but am not sure how to. All
help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Katt
