1,101 PointsI cant seem to figure out what's wrong with this script. i tried to write what kenneth wrote
import random
# too high messeage
# too low message
# play again
def game():
# ganerate a random number between 1 and 10
secret_num = random.randint(1, 10)
guesses = []
while len(guesses) < 5:
try:
# get a number guess from the player
guess = int(input("Guess a number between 1 and 10: "))
except ValueError:
print("{} isn't a number!".format(guess))
else:
# compare guess to secret number
if guess == secret_num:
print("You got it! My number was {}".format(secret_num))
break
elif guess < secret_num:
print("My number is higher than {}".format(guesses))
else:
print("My number is lowerer than {}".format(guesses))
guesses.append(guess)
else:
print("You didn't get it! My number was {}".format(secret_num)
play_again = input("Do you want to play again? Y/n ")
if play_again.lower() != "n":
game()
else:
print("Bye!")
game()
