In this code, the user is to guess a number the computer has chosen randomly between 0 and 100.
The problem is that the while loop doesn’t get executed at all. Everything was working until I put that code block into the while loop to get it repeated until the user guesses the number or runs out of attempts. How do I get the while loop to work? Please I am a beginner in python.
import random
def guessing_game():
print('''Welcome to the Number Guessing Game!
I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.''')
select_level = input("Choose a difficulty. Type 'easy' or 'hard': easy: ")
if select_level == "easy":
attempt_left = 10
print("You have 10 attempts remaining to guess the number.")
elif select_level == "hard":
attempt_left = 5
print("You have 5 attempts remaining to guess the number.")
computer_choice = random.randint(0,100)
#print(f"Pssst, the correct answer is {computer_choice}")
number_guessed = False
while number_guessed:
user_choice = int(input("Please enter a number between 0 and 100: "))
if computer_choice == user_choice:
number_guessed = True
print(f"You got it! The answer was {computer_choice}")
else:
attempt_left -= 1
if user_choice > computer_choice:
print(f"That is too high!\nGuess again.\nYou have {attempt_left} attempts remaining to guess the number.")
else:
print(f"That is too low!\nGuess again.\nYou have {attempt_left} attempts remaining to guess the number.")
if attempt_left == 0:
number_guessed = True
print("You've run out of guesses, you lose.")
guessing_game()
>Solution :
You define number_guessed as False, so the loop does not execute at all. Try while not number_guessed.
