Why is the elif statement taking priority over my if statement?-CodePudding

So I've got a number guessing game, all my previous code works fine, and you can probably see that I have the randomly generated number printed on the screen. But when I guess the number correctly I still get told I am wrong?

num = randrange(0, 100)

if num > 0 and num < 50:

print("The number is greater than 0 but smaller than 50")

elif num > 50 and num < 100:

print("The number is smaller than 100 but greater than 50")

print(num)

print('Start Guessing')

a = input()


a = input()
if a == num:

print ("You got the correct number, woohoo")

elif num > 0 and num < 20:

print ("Hint: The number is bigger than 0 but smaller than 20")

elif num > 20 and num < 40:

print ('Hint: The number is bigger than 20 but smaller than 40')

elif num > 40 and num < 60:

print ('Hint: The number is bigger than 40 but smaller than 60')

elif num > 60 and num < 80:

print ('Hint: The number is bigger than 60 but smaller than 80')

elif num > 80 and num < 100:

print ('Hint: The number is bigger than 80 but smaller than 100')

Sorry for the weird looking code, I've never used this site before.

CodePudding user response：

Your code appears to be Python. You should indicate that in a tag. Also, since Python if statements rely on indentation you should post your code with proper indentation.

In the code:

a = input()
if a == num:

You are comparing a string to a number. You should cast a to an int.

if int(a) == num:
