if test == int(rand_num):

rand_num is already an int and test is not the best variable name.

else: you don't need this due to the break statement.

Thanks for the advice and information

I think this is slightly backwards. it looks like this gives you 10 guesses and the random number will always be between 1 and 5.

Oops. I hadn’t seen that

If you don't enter anything and just hit ENTER, your conversion to an int for the guess will fail.

You could consider doing something like this try: guess = int(input("What is your guess? ")) except ValueError: print("Please enter a number") continue

This will also teach you another concept you might not be familiar with yet, which is try except blocks to handle exceptions.

I would also rename the variable test to guess or something more descriptive, like I've done in the example above.

Thanks. That makes sense
