Question

Write a program that prompts the user for an integer that the player (maybe the user, maybe someone else) will try to guess. If the player's guess is higher than the target number, the program should display "too high" If the user's guess is lower than the target number, the program should display "too low" The program should use a loop that repeats until the user correctly guesses the number. Then the program should print how many guesses it took. When you run your program it should match the following format:

Enter the number for the player to guess.
-12
Enter your guess.
100
Too high - try again:
50
Too high - try again:
-2000
Too low - try again:
-12
You guessed it in 4 tries.

If the user guesses the number in 1 try, then your program should print "You guessed it in 1 try."

The file must be named: num_guess.py

Code must be in python, not C++ or Java.

Answer 1

print("Enter the number for the player to guess.")
n = int(input())
guess = int(input("Enter your guess.\n"))
count = 0
while(guess!=n):
    if(guess>n):
        print("Too high - try again:")
    else:
        print("Too low - try again:")
    count+=1
    guess = int(input())
print("You guessed it in 4 tries.")
