Ahh. I had removed it because it didn't seem to do anything, but I've
readded it.
And I understand your dictionary stuff correctly now, I think, and I
worked it in. Currently, I have:

try:
x = int(x)
except ValueError:
print("BAD INPUT!")
else:
break

try:
x = str(x)

print("BAD INPUT!")

break

print("LOW NUMBER MUST BE POSITIVE")

I'd need to find out how those work, and I have a list of python stuff
to read piling up anyway... That said, I think for something like
that, something that's not a major flaw, I'd prefer to make something
else, and maybe work on this again later on. There is only so much
guessing numbers one person can take.
