Once you have the basic formula or algorithm down, just translate it into python. Math is math. We can answer specific questions of course. Like, how would I represent the equation in python? Well put each term in a variable. For example, 3x^2-2x+4 = 0, you would store the 3, 2, and 4 in variables. Then run your formula on them. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

On 02/27/2013 10:32 PM, eli m wrote: How would you find the slope, y intercept, and slope-intercept form equation for a line in python? First, I'd form a more complete description of the problem. Specify what the overall constraints are (eg. Python version, OS portability, where input is to be gotten, and what the input values are to mean, how results are to be represented) Then, I'd write a series of tests, especially showing both parameters that will work, and parameters that should give exceptions. Then, I'd break the problem description into steps in a pseudo code form. For example, maybe get the input parameters (which are they, and in what order) from the command line. Validate the inputs, and make sure an answer is possible. Then apply this formula, and print the result. Apply that formula and print the result. Apply the third formula and print the result. Exit the program. Next, I'd translate that pseudo code into actual Python statements, and type it into a text editor. Then run those tests, and for each that fails, either revise the test or the code, depending on which is wrong. If you run into trouble on one of these steps, show us your work, and somebody will undoubtedly be able to help there. -- DaveA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hello. I think you code is Python 2.7. My solution uses Python 3 but I can
help you convert it if the solution is what you are looking for. My approach
as to create a class that tries to guess the right number. This code also
eliminates raw_input. I didn't know how important having it respond via
raw_input is to you. Code follows:
import random
import sys
class Guesser():
def __init__(self):
self.low = 1
self.high = 100
def getRand(self,x,y):
num = random.randint(x,y)
return num
def guess(self,guess,boundary):
if boundary == ">":
self.low = guess
elif boundary == "<":
self.high = guess
else:
self.low = 1
self.high = 100
return self.getRand(self.low,self.high)
def playagain(self):
choice = ['Y','N']
return random.choice(choice)
run = 0
while run == 0:
guess=1
guesses=0
guessestaken = 0
comp = Guesser()
num = comp.getRand(1,100)
result = ""
print ("I am thinking of a number between 1 and 100")
while guesses == 0:
guessestaken += 1
try:
guess = comp.guess(guess,result) # replaces input
except:
print("Unexpected error:", sys.exc_info()[0])
raise
print("Your guess:", guess)
if guess == num:
print('Correct! It took you', guessestaken, 'guesses!')
guesses = 1
elif guess > num:
print("My number is lower")
result = "<"
else:
print("My number is higher")
result = ">"
print("Do you want to play again?")
playagain = comp.playagain()# replaces input
print(playagain)
if playagain == "N":
run = 1
Please let me know if you have questions or would like to discuss this solution
further.
Cheers!

This is my code:
#Guess the number game
import random
run = 0
while run == 0:
print ("I am thinking of a number between 1 and 100")
num = random.randint(1, 100)
num = int(num)
guesses = 0
guessestaken = 0
while guesses == 0:
try:
guess = raw_input("Your guess:")
guess = int(guess)
guessestaken = (guessestaken) + 1
guessestaken = int(guessestaken)
if guess == (num):
print 'Correct! It took you', int(guessestaken), 'guesses!'
playagain = raw_input("Do you want to play again?")
if playagain == "yes":
guesses = 1
if playagain == "no":
run = 1
if guess > num:
print ("My number is lower")
if guess < num:
print ("My number is higher")
except TypeError, err:
print ("Not a valid number")
I would like it to show the computer guessing the numbers.

Your question would make more sense if you would show your program and also explain how you would like the output to look when the computer played itself.
