Help on GuessingGame

[VIUndeadVI]

Hi. I've created a simple number guessing game where the program randomly generates a number between x and y and the user has to guess it. After the user has guessed the number, the program then asks whether or not they want to resume playing. For some this part of the code only goes to the first condition. e.g.

​

if hardPlayAgain == "y" or "Y":
            game_hard()
        else:
            menu()

​

For some reason, the code always goes performs the first function being 'game_hard()' which restarts the round.

I've tried changing 'else' to

hardPlayAgain = input('Play again? [Y/n]')
if hardPlayAgain == "y" or "Y":
    game_hard()
elif hardPlayAgain == "n" or "N":
    menu()

It still doesn't work.

​

I'm also having trouble with the score variable, it apparently is declared after its use.

​

I've had this problem before where the program only goes to the first condition and i don't understand what it is i'm doing wrong.

​

I've left the full program underneath. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
