Hi guys!
So I am trying to start working on the number guessing game. My code works great if I guess the number correcting right away and if I guess wrong it prints what I want, but it doesn't ever tell me I guess correctly even if I try all possible solutions. Does it choose a new random number every time I guess again and if so how do I stop that? I tried to google and read other posts, but haven't been able to figure it out. Any help would be great! Thank you!
""" import random
import sys
num = random.randint(1, 10)
welcome = input("Welcome! Wanna play a game? (yes/no) ")
if welcome.lower() == 'yes': print("Good choice! This game is called -Guess That Number!-") print("To play enter a number between 1-10 and try to guess what the computer choose!") else: sys.exit("Too bad..it would have been a fun game! Maybe next time!")
guess = input("What is your guess? ".format(num)) guess = int(guess)
while guess != num: print("oh so close!") guess = input("Guess again! ".format(num))
if guess == num:
print("Good guessing! Thanks for playing!")
"""
sorry about the format, I'm not sure yet how to copy my code!

The reason why the game doesn’t work as expected if you don’t guess the number correctly right away is because in the while loop you never convert the user's response (which is stored in the guess variable) from a string to an int.
You do that in the beginning with guess = int(guess), but later on you leave it as a string. And a string will never equal a number. For that reason, the game never ends.
