- line 9 has a "break", but it is not part of a loop
- line 17 needs another close parenthesis to match the opens
- lines 33 and 35 both need a period between the string and the "format"
You might also have some logic issues to work on, but that should get you going again.

2,564 PointsThe code work, but the while loop doesn't. Give me some tips please, Sir Steven?
import random
def replay():
play_again = input("Let me try again? Y/n")
if play_again.upper() == 'Y':
game()
else:
print("See you again")
def game():
low = int(input("Pick your min number: "))
high = int(input("Pick your max number: "))
secret_num = int(input("Pick a number between your max number and min number: "))
print("Guess my number between the my min number and max number: ")
computer_guess = random.randint(low, high)
print(computer_guess)
limit_guesses = 5
while limit_guesses < 5:
try:
computer_guess == secret_num
except ValueError:
print("Give me a number")
break
else:
if computer_guess == secret_num:
print("Wowhoo..I got it")
replay()
elif computer_guess < secret_number:
print("Almost there. My number is greater than {}.".format(computer_guess))
else:
print("Almost there. My number is lower than {}.".format(computer_guess))
limit_guesses.append(computer_guess)
else:
replay()
game()

231,236 PointsIt looks like you might not be using "try" correctly. That comparison on line 23 isn't likely to generate an exception (or do anything else, for that matter).
You already test the same comparison on line 28, so I suspect that what you really want in the "try" area is something to read in some input from the user and convert it into a number.

2,564 PointsTks for your help. Here is my code now. Give me feedback for improvement Please Mr .Steven.
import random
def replay():
play_again = input("Give me a chance buddy? Y/n")
if play_again.upper() == 'Y':
game()
else:
print("See you again")
def pick_a_number():
low = int(input("Pick your min number: "))
high = int(input("Pick your max number: "))
secret_number = int(input("Pick a number between your max number and min number: "))
print("Guess my number in my min number and max number: ")
computer_guess = random.randint(low, high)
print(computer_guess)
pick_a_number()
def game():
while True:
player_hint = input("Tell me if I'm WRONG or RIGHT: ")
if player_hint.upper() == 'RIGHT':
print("Wohooo I got you, buddy :)")
break
elif player_hint.upper() == 'WRONG':
print("I'll do it again")
replay()
else:
print("Think of a number buddy")
game()

231,236 PointsIt looks like your original question has been answered, and the code will run now.
At this point, you can just try giving it different input and check how it functions. It should be easy to spot anything you might want to change about how it works.
