How to continue loop after exception?

import random
GREETING = "======> Welcome to Rando <====="

def start_game():

    print(GREETING.upper())
    answer = random.randint(1,10)
    num_of_guess = 1
    print(answer)

    rules = print("Select an integer between 1 & 10, and I will tell you if it's too high or too low. \n If you can\'t correctly guess my number within 3 tries, it\'s GAMEOVER!")

    try:
        while num_of_guess < 4:
            guess = int(input("Pick an integer between 1 & 10:  "))
            if 1 < guess > 10:
                raise ValueError
                #continue
            if guess == answer:
                print("Congrats! You guessed my number")

            else:
                if guess > answer:
                    print('Too High')
                else:
                    print("Too Low")

            num_of_guess += 1


    except ValueError as err:
        print(("Number has to be integer between 1 & 10, try again!"))




start_game()

Having some issues with my code. Once it raises the ValueError, the program stops. Where I have the "#continue" located is where I thought I had to put the continue for it to run, but that didn't work either.

Put your try/except inside the while loop.

import random
GREETING = "======> Welcome to Rando <====="

def start_game():

    print(GREETING.upper())
    answer = random.randint(1,10)
    num_of_guess = 1
    print(answer)

    rules = print("Select an integer between 1 & 10, and I will tell you if it's too high or too low. \n If you can\'t correctly guess my number within 3 tries, it\'s GAMEOVER!")


    while num_of_guess < 4:
      try:

        guess = int(input("Pick an integer between 1 & 10:  "))
        if guess < 1 or guess > 10:
            raise ValueError
            #continue
        if guess == answer:
            print("Congrats! You guessed my number")

        else:
            if guess > answer:
                print('Too High')
            else:
                print("Too Low")

        num_of_guess += 1


      except ValueError as err:
          print(("Number has to be integer between 1 & 10, try again!"))

Thanks for helping out with this one. I figured it out finally after many many iterations.
