Hello,
I am teaching myself python using the book: Python Programming for Absolute
Beginners, 2nd edition by Michael Dawson. I am using python 2.7.1.
In chapter 3 we are learning to use structures (while, if, elif) to write a
program that has the user guess a number

Thanks,
Is this an indentation problem then?
How do I update the sentinel within the secondary while loop. I am trying to
avoid using breaks by the way, as I can program this example using breaks:
--- start---
import random
print \tWelcome to 'Guess my number'!:
print \nI'm thinking of a number

That depends how you look at it. I was not clear from your code exactly
where you wanted to handle things.

Return False instead of break should work

In case you still need help:
- # Set the initial values
- the_number= random.randrange(100) + 1
- tries = 0
- guess = None
-
- # Guessing loop
- while guess != the_number and tries 7:
- guess = int(raw_input(Take a guess: ))
- if guess the_number:
- print Lower...
- elif
looping = True
while looping:
guess = int(raw_input(Take a guess: ))
tries += 1
if guess the_number:
print Lower...
elif guess the_number:
print Higher...

print You guessed it! The number was, the_number
