Python Python Guessing Game Program with Error - Assistance Needed

[noahshine15]

I'm excited to share with you a small Python program I've been working on, although it does currently have some errors. I decided to use an online Python editor to thoroughly examine and debug the code. You can access this convenient online editor by clicking on the following link: Python Online Editor.

Here's the code:

import random

secret_number = random.randint(1, 100)
attempts = 0

print("Welcome to the Guessing Game!")
print("I have selected a random number between 1 and 100.")
print("Try to guess the number.")

while True:
    guess = random.randint(1, 100)
    attempts + = 1 

    if guess < secret_number:
        print(f"Attempt {attempts}: Guessed {guess}. It's too low. Try a higher number.")
    elif guess > secret_number:
        print(f"Attempt {attempts}: Guessed {guess}. It's too high. Try a lower number.")
    else:
        print(f"Congratulations! You've guessed the secret number {secret_number} in {attempts} attempts.")
        break

print("Thank you for playing!")

Hi there,
So, you're gonna hate yourself over this lol, and trust me, everyone hates themselves when they realize their stress was all over the smallest issue

So, you have an unwanted space between "+" and the "=" signs in the second line after the while declaration
replace it with this:

attempts += 1

Hi Antero360,

Haha, don't worry! It happens to the best of us. Thank you so much for catching that detail. I really appreciate your keen eye for these things. It's amazing how even the tiniest things can make a big difference in code!

I've made the correction, and everything is working perfectly now. Thanks again for your help!🙌

No problem 😁 Glad to hear everything is working as intended.

Well, I have seen this code reference (A simple number game that I built using python), reference taking from here (Project no 4).
I will suggest you to take reference of the above code and confirm whether it is working or not.
Thanks

Here is a link to the share section of the forum of some code I wrote a while back.
It's a number guessing game using tkinter.

Number guessing with tkinter

A simple number guessing games with tkinter. I wrote this code a while back practicing with tkinter ''' Tkinter Number Guessing Game Guess the random number between 1 and 100 ''' import tkinter as tk from random import randint class Model: ''' Model class handles comparison...

1. Replaced random.randint(1, 100) with int(input("Enter your guess: ")) to take input from the user instead of generating a random guess.
2. Changed attempts + = 1 to attempts += 1 to fix the syntax error.

Now, the player will be prompted to enter their guess, and the game will respond accordingly.

Here are the changes made:

import random

secret_number = random.randint(1, 100)
attempts = 0

print("Welcome to the Guessing Game!")
print("I have selected a random number between 1 and 100.")
print("Try to guess the number.")

while True:
    guess = int(input("Enter your guess: "))
    attempts += 1

    if guess < secret_number:
        print(f"Attempt {attempts}: Guessed {guess}. It's too low. Try a higher number.")
    elif guess > secret_number:
        print(f"Attempt {attempts}: Guessed {guess}. It's too high. Try a lower number.")
    else:
        print(f"Congratulations! You've guessed the secret number {secret_number} in {attempts} attempts.")
        break

print("Thank you for playing!")

Here is a way to add a little error checking.

from random import randint

random_number = randint(1,101)
tries = 0

while guess:= input('Enter a number between 1 - 100\n >> '):
    if guess.isdigit():
        tries += 1
        guess = int(guess)
        if guess > random_number:
            print('Number is too high.')
        elif guess < random_number:
            print('Number is too low...')
        else:
            print(f'Congradulations! You guessed the number in {tries} tries.')
            break
    else:
        print('Error! Only whole numbers are allowed')

Using a try block

guessing = True
while guessing:
    try:
        guess = int(input('Enter a number between 1, 100\n>> '))
        tries += 1
        if guess > random_number:
            msg = f'{guess} is too high. Please try again.'
        elif guess < random_number:
            msg = f'{guess} is too low. Please try again'
        else:
            msg = f'Congradulations! You guessed the number in {tries} tries.'
            guessing = False
        print(msg)

    except ValueError:
        print('Error! Only whole numbers are allowed.')
