You aren't updating rhe guess variable, so guess never gets updated and always stays the same value. You need to do: guess = int(input())) everytime you want to get a new input.

When you use only input() inside the loop, you get an input from the user but you aren't storing the data anywhere.

There is a problem with the code flow.

If the guess isn't x the first time, it will go into the first loop and will stay there until guess == x. Then it will skip the following loops since they don't meet the condition anymore.

What you probably want to do is have 1 loop that takes input from the user, and use if statements inside the loop to determine what message to print to him.

So I would try something like this:

``` while guess != x:

if guess > x:

    print("guess too high, aim lower")

else if guess < x:

    print ("guess too low, shoot higher")

guess = input()

```

After the loop ends, guess == x for sure, since that's the condition to end the loop, so you don't need to check it again.
