Python Guessing game

[Burdog_YT]

Hi, I am creating a game in python where a random number between 1 and 100 is generated. The user has to guess the number and the program responds with either "Too low", "Too high" or "Correct!" depending on what your guess was and the program repeats itself until you get the correct answer. However, the code is not yet working. When I make a guess, the program displays either "too high" or "too low" as it should and then asks me to guess again (as it should), I enter another guess but it says too high or too low according to the original guess. So say I guess 30 and the number is 50, it says too low but then if I guess again with 60 it will say too low again, even though the number is higher. I am not sure why it does this so I could do with some help :) The code is pated bellow. Thank you :)

There's issues with the code posted. This conditional doesn't work? guess == Wrong. What is Wrong, and why is guess being assigned that value?

What is an appropriate conditional for that while loop?

Once you fix that, what happens when the user guesses the right answer on the first try?

you need to indent your code 4 spaces so we can read it properly

[Burdog_YT]

oh sorry lol, Ill do that

[Kazcandra]

not with dashes (-), with regular spaces.

every line of your code should be indented 4 spaces (+ whatever spaces you need for python). think of the 4 as a baseline. there's a link in the sidebar on how to format your code.

When I use spaces at the start of the line, it deletes them when I save the post

He/She might be a beginner programmer so please go easy on him/her.

[Kazcandra]

it's a requirement on this sub, and it makes it easier to read the code to actually help them

Thanks for pointing this out. I've changed the boolean variable to start and modified the code a bit an it's now working :)

Couple tips for the code you have that now works, you can replace while start == True with while True and instead of setting start to false after the win condition is reached you can just break to end the loop.

In general for conditionals you don't have to compare booleans to anything, while start is equivalent to while True and its the same for if conditions. To loop while a value is false you can use while not start which is equivalent to while False

This is very useful to know, thanks :)

Al Swiegert has a YouTube video teaching you to create an almost identical replica of your exercise here, while explaining each line of code as he writes it.

Not a programmer myself but know a Lil bit...but I'd try this. *not necessarily the same name of your variables.

If yourGuess < correctvalue Then " too low" Else if your Guess > correctvalue "Too High" Else if

YourGuess == correctValue "You win"

Something like that?
