Computer should guess the number in my head in Python-CodePudding

So I'm new to programming and I'm trying to write a program where I have a number in my head and the computer must guess it until I say that it has guessed right! The computer should choose a random number between 1 to 99 and show it to me, If the number is correct I should type "c" to prove that it's correct, if the number in my head is smaller I should write "s" to make the range smaller and if the number in my head was bigger I should write "b" to make the range smaller and easier for the computer to guess the number. this is the code I came up with but there's something wrong with it that I can't find out.

    import random
    first=1
    second=99
    guess=random.randint(first,second)
    print(guess)
    answer=input("what is the number in your head(don't enter it, just compare it with the number on the screen)? print c for correct, b for bigger and s for smaller! \n")
    while answer!="c":
        if answer=="b":
            first==guess 1
            guess=random.randint(first,second)
            print(guess)
        elif answer=="s":
            second==guess-1
            guess=random.randint(first,second)
            print(guess)
    answer=input("what do you think about the new number? ")
    print("you did it!")

CodePudding user response：

You have two mistakes: using == (testing for equality) where you should have used = (assignment), and wrong indentation:

import random
first = 1
second = 99
guess = random.randint(first, second)
print(guess)
answer = input("what is the number in your head(don't enter it, just compare it with the number on the screen)? print c for correct, b for bigger and s for smaller! \n")
while answer != "c":
    if answer == "b":
        first = guess   1 # <-- this line
        guess = random.randint(first, second)
        print(guess)
    elif answer == "s":
        second = guess - 1 # <-- this line
        guess = random.randint(first, second)
        print(guess)
    answer = input("what do you think about the new number? ")  # <-- and this line
print("you did it!")

The final line would only run after the loop ended instead of once every loop the way you wrote it.

See how the spaces I added make it clearer what's going on on each line

CodePudding user response：

You should indent the second input line so that it belongs to the while loop. This way new input is requested after every guess.

CodePudding user response：

Your program is correct, it just needs a few modifications in the while loop. It should look like this:

while answer != "c":
    if answer == "b":
       first = guess 1
       guess = random.randint(first, second)
       print(guess)
    elif answer == "s":
       second = guess-1
       guess = random.randint(first, second)
       print(guess)
    answer = input("what do you think about the new number? ")
