Dear Sir(s):
I am new to Python programming,and I have a "Guess My Number" program which
partially works. The main while control works,the guessing of an integer
between 1 and 60 seems to give the "too high" or "too low" elif branches
effectively. However,when the correct number is guessed the "elif" for the
Congratulatory Message does not print out,and the number of attempts at
guessing the mystery number does not print out. Instead, the program apparently
goes into the main while control loop again and queries the User if they want
to run the program again. I have attached a sample Python Shell run;along with
code fragments of the relevant areas. Anybody,please help me work out this code
and get "Guess My Number" correctly running.
CONCERNED,Stephen W. Mik

#MODIFIED GUESS MY NUMBER PROGRAM
#Date April ,2014
#Programmer Stephen W. Mik
#This program is modified after a version found
#in the TextBook "Python Programming 3rd Edition"
#by Michael Dawson Copyright 2010;ISBN-13: 978-1-4354-5500-9
#Or the Alternate ISBN-10: 1-4354-5500-2.
#It is based on the material found on page 50,and pages 81-84
#of the Book, along with a downloaded basic program Structyre
#"guess_my_number" ,found in the book companion's Website Files
#"www.courseptr.com/downloads" Chapter 3.
######EXPLANATION OF GUESS MY
NUMBER###################################################
#This program uses a random number generator(supplied by Python 3.4.0) to
#to pick a changeable number between 1 and 60. The User is prompted to guess
the number
#by inputting a guess at the prompt. The user is then advised whether the
correct number
#has been guessed. If it has been guessed correctly,the user is congratulated.
If the number
#has not been guessed correctly,the attempt is noted and quantified. then the
user is told whether
# the guess number was too large (and then for the user to guess a lower
number) or the number
#guessed was too small (and in this case for the user to guess a higher
number). The number of
#attempted non-successful guesses is accumulated and totalled and then when
finally the User guesses
#the correct number ; the guess attempts are outputted along with
Congatulations. The User is queried
#if they want to play the game again,if not,the Program ends.
