I’m not sure why that would work, because if guess==secret I have another statement in my code that takes care of that. I didn’t want to add my whole code because it’s too long but that is in there. > > And then once you get that fixed you can rewrite using > the chained comparison trick to tidy it up. > ie > if not (lower limit < guess > upper limit): I see what you’re saying about the chained comparison. What I’m having problems with is condensing it to half the lines of code so I don’t have to have the same conditionals under both ‘too low’ and ‘to high’.
