Your solution is correct, except for one thing.
When you start the while loop 'guess' is not yet defined. That's why it
gives you an error. You need to define 'guess' before you start your while
loop, like so...
number = 44
guess = 0
while guess != number :
guess = int(raw_input("Guess a number between 1 - 100: "))
if guess > number :
print ("Too high")
elif guess < number :
print ("Too low")
else:
print ("Just right" )
After that change it worked for me. Did you get this error when you tried
your code?
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'guess' is not defined
>From your question it sounds like I might be missing something though. If
that didn't help, please provide more details.
