If you put everything needed to guess once into a function like in the
following example. Once you have reorganised
#first version -- flat
guess = int(input("guess my number: "))
if guess == 42:
print("congrats")
else:
print("sorry, you're wrong")
into
#second version -- using a function
def guess_number():
guess = int(input("guess my number: "))
if guess == 42:
print("congrats")
else:
print("sorry, you're wrong")
guess_number()
you can easily modify the script to invoke the guess_number() function
inside a loop:
#third version -- calling the function from within a loop
def guess_number():
guess = int(input("guess my number: "))
if guess == 42:
print("congrats")
else:
print("sorry, you're wrong")
for i in range(2):
print("round", i+1)
guess_number()
