This email contains another modified code that I tried working with but
still doesn't do the job right, although performs closer to what i want.
I have been having some difficulty modifying this program to where a
player has limited number of guesses and if he fails to guess correctly
within that number he is asked to "Try Again" The original program code
and the code that I modified are given below. Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Raj
The Original program code:
# Guess my number
#
# The computer picks a random number between 1 and 100
# The player tries to guess it and the computer lets
# the player know if the guess is too high, too low
# or right on the money
import random
print "\tWelcome to 'Guess My Number'!"
print "\nI'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100."
print "Try to guess it in as few attempts as possible.\n"
# set the initial values
the_number = random.randrange(100)+1
guess = int(raw_input("Take a guess:"))
tries = 1
#guessing loop
while guess != the_number:
if guess > the_number:
print "Lower..."
else:
print "Higher..."
guess = int(raw_input("Take a guess:"))
tries += 1
print "You guessed it! The number was", the_number
print "And it only took you", tries, "tries!\n"
raw_input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit")
My modifications that don't quite work right in the code:
# Guess my number (Modified for Chapter 3 Challenge 3)
#
# The computer picks a random number between 1 and 100
# The player tries to guess it and the computer lets
# the player know if the guess is too high, too low
# or right on the money
# The player has only Five guesses in which to guess correctly
# otherwise he loses and is asked to try again
# and the game ends
import random
print "\tWelcome to 'Guess My Number'!"
print "\nI'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100."
print "Try to guess it in as few attempts as possible.\n"
# set the initial values
the_number = random.randrange(100)+1
guess = int(raw_input("Take a guess:"))
tries = 1
#guessing loop
while guess != the_number:
if guess > the_number:
print "Lower..."
else:
print "Higher..."
&nbs p;
while tries < 5:
if guess == the_number:
print "You're right, the number is",the_number
else:
print "try again"
guess = int(raw_input("Take a guess:"))
tries += 1
raw_input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit")
Modified Code #2 (Better than the last one but still not right)
# Guess my number (Modified for Chapter 3 Challenge 3)
#
# The computer picks a random number between 1 and 100
# The player tries to guess it ; and the computer lets
# the player know if the guess is too high, too low
# or right on the money
# The player has only Five guesses in which to guess correctly
# otherwise he loses and is asked to try again
# and the game ends
import random
print "\tWelcome to 'Guess My Number'!"
print "\nI'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100."
print "Try to guess it in as few attempts as possible.\n"
# set the initial values
the_number = random.randrange(100)+1
guess = int(raw_input("Take a guess:"))
tries = 1
#guessing loop
while guess != the_number and tries <5:
if guess > the_number:
print "Lower..."
else:
print "Higher..."
guess = int(raw_input("Take a guess:"))
tries += 1
if tri es > 5:
guess == the_number
print "You're right"
else:
print "You lose"
raw_input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit")

Hello Raj,
Here is how I would modify the original program in the book.
import random
print "\tWelcome to 'Guess My Number'!"
print "\nI'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100."
max_tries = 10 ##### modification
print "Try to guess it in no more than", max_tries, "attempts.\n" #####
modification
# set the initial values
the_number = random.randrange(100) + 1
guess = int(raw_input("Take a guess: "))
tries = 1
# guessing loop
while (guess != the_number) and (tries < max_tries): ##### modification
if (guess > the_number):
print "Lower..."
else:
print "Higher..."
guess = int(raw_input("Take a guess: "))
tries += 1
##### modification
if tries<max_tries:
print "You guessed it! The number was", the_number
print "And it only took you", tries, "tries!\n"
else:
print "You exceeded the maximum number of tries allowed."
print "The number was", the_number
raw_input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit.")
