Hi,
I am new into Python, and using the book
Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner by Michael Dawson.
One of the taks in chapte 3 is to change the "guess my number game" to include only 5 gusses and give appropriate messege at the end (in case no sucssesful guess was done).
I have tried to add break for the loop after the variable "tries>5". however it seems that the program gets out from the loop after only 2 gusses. could someone give the reson or the solution to this issue.
The cose is attached below:
# Guess My Number
#
# The computer picks a random number between 1 and 100
# The player tries to guess it and the computer lets
# the player know if the guess is too high, too low
# or right on the money
import random
print("\tWelcome to 'Guess My Number'!")
print("\nI'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.")
print("Try to guess it in as few attempts as possible.\n")
# set the initial values
the_number = random.randint(1, 100)
guess = int(input("Take a guess: "))
tries = 1
# guessing loop
while guess != the_number:
if guess > the_number:
print("Lower...")
else:
print("Higher...")
guess = int(input("Take a guess: "))
tries += 1
if tries > 5:
break
if guess != the_number:
print ("you failed, the number was", the_number)
elif guess==the_number:
print("You guessed it! The number was", the_number)
print("And it only took you", tries, "tries!\n")
input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit.")
Thanks for your help
