My while loop doesn't function correctly after my first input, why?-CodePudding

I'm having trouble with getting the while loop to function correctly in my code.

I want to create a program that randomly generates 2 numbers and asks the user to give the sum of them. This is what I have so far:

  import random

def add_random_numbers():
   num1 = random.randint(0, 100)
   num2 = random.randint(0, 100)
   
   print(num1, ' ', num2)
   answer = num1   num2
   
   
   user_answer = int(input("Enter Your Answer: "))
   
   while user_answer != answer:
        if (user_answer > answer):
           print("Sorry, your guess is too high.")
           int(input("\nTry again: "))
           
        if (user_answer < answer): 
             print("Sorry, your guess is too low.")
             int(input("\nTry again: "))
            
add_random_numbers()

But once you enter the wrong number and you're prompted to try again, the while loop no longer works. It just keeps repeating the first result. I know it's probably a simple fix but I can't figure it out. What am I missing?

You need to reassign your input back to user_answer

    while user_answer != answer:
        if (user_answer > answer):
             print("Sorry, your guess is too high.")
             user_answer = int(input("\nTry again: "))
           
        if (user_answer < answer): 
             print("Sorry, your guess is too low.")
             User_answer = int(input("\nTry again: "))

CodePudding user response：

That's because you don't reassing user_answer on your input "Try again". So that's why it keeps using the first input

CodePudding user response：

So the problem lies in the line where you ask the user to put a new input

int(input("\nTry again: "))

This line does ask for a new input but the answer isn't assigned anywhere, in order to fix this you only need to rewrite the value of user_answer as follows

user_answer = int(input("\nTry again: "))
