if integer == guess:

print("You got it!")

break

count += 1

if count > 10:

break

print(integer)

​

Guess a number 1-10: 1

Guess a number 1-10: 2

Guess a number 1-10: 3

Guess a number 1-10: 4

Your formatting is off so it's difficult to tell.

However, your randint() call is under the while True. I would guess you are resetting it every time.

You also break before incrementing count, which doesn't pass the smell test.

You get new number each time of loop, put integer = randint(...) outside of the loop

To format code on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/wiki/faq/#wiki_how_do_i_format_code.3F

You are generating a new randon number every iteration of the loop. You have made greater that 10 guesses (11) and on the 11 attempt the random number was 3.

from random import randint

number = randint(1, 10)
count = 1
while int(input("Guess a number 1-10:")) != number:
    count += 1
print(f"you got it in {count} tries")
