myNumber is now a *string* representing a number from 1-5.

computerNumber is now a random *integer* between 1-5
A string can never equal an integer. "5" is not the same as 5
Types are important in programming.
print ("Your chosen number is ", myNumber,": Computer number is: ",
computerNumber)

So the else will never get called
You need to convert your string into an integer using int()
myNumber = int(input("Input a number between 1 and 5: "))
