Ok, I see. So, I think I got a good portion of this done thanks to you guys
and understanding the directions a little better. I’ll post my code. For some
reason I’m not sure what the user_guess variable in the get_guess is actually
doing, or if it’s even an appropriate variable name?? Also, I’m going to bold
another part I’m struggling with about the number being out of range, I’m not
sure I’m going in the right direction with that, mainly because it does not
work. Here is what I have so far…
from random import randrange
randrange(1, 101)
from random import seed
seed(129)
def print_description():
print """Welcome to Guess the Number.
I have seleted a secret number in the range 1 ... 100.
You must guess the number within 10 tries.
I will tell you if you ar high or low, and
I will tell you if you are hot or cold.\n"""
def get_guess(guess_number):
promt = "(" + str(guess_number) +") Please enter a guess:"
user_guess = raw_input(promt)
user_guess = int(user_guess)
return user_guess
def print_hints(secrets, guess):
if guess < 0 or guess> 101:
print "Out of range!"
def main():
print_description()
secret = randrange(1,101)
current_guess = get_guess(1)
if secret == current_guess:
print "Congratulations, you win!"
else:
print "Please play again"
print "The secret number was", secret
main()
print_hints()_______________________________________________
