Thanks for getting back to me...
I am using Python 3.3.2.
The challenge is as follows:
# Chapter 3 Challenge 4
#
# Write the psudocode for a program where the player and the computer
# trade places in the number guessing game. That is, the player picks a
# random number between 1 and 100 that the computer has to guess.
# Before you start, think about how you guess. If all goes well, try
# coding the game.
It builds on the previous challenge, where the user guesses the number - I
coded that OK, as below.
import random
print("\tWelcome to 'Guess My Number'!")
print("\nI'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.")
print("Try to guess it in as few attempts as possible.\n")
# set the initial values
the_number = random.randint(1, 100)
guess = int(input("Take a guess: "))
tries = 1
# guessing loop
while guess != the_number and tries < 10:
if guess > the_number:
print("Lower...")
else:
print("Higher...")
guess = int(input("Take a guess: "))
tries += 1
if guess == the_number:
print("You guessed it! The number was", the_number)
print("And it only took you", tries, "tries!\n")
else:
print("Huh - you took ", tries, "tries and still never got it.")
print("It was ", the_number, " - but why tell you, you'll forget it,
won't you.")
input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit.")
