I would be grateful for some help please. I have recently started learning python and I am attemping to write a programme where a user enters a number between 1 and 5, and the computer generates random numbers until an equivalent number is achieved. The code (see below) runs, but the else part of the loop does not run when the computer generates an equivalent number. I have tried to resolve this a number of ways and have run the code under a debugger, but cannot work out why the else part is not running. I would be grateful for your help / guidance with this.
[...]
import random computerNumber = 0 myNumber = input("Input a number between 1 and 5: ") print ("Your chosen number is: ", myNumber) computerNumber = input("Press enter to prompt the computer to enter a number: ")while computerNumber != 0: if myNumber != computerNumber: computerNumber = random.randint(1,5) print ("Your chosen number is ", myNumber,": Computer number is: ", computerNumber) print ("Numbers do not match.") prompt = input("Press enter to prompt the computer to enter a number: ") else: print ("MyNumber is ", str(myNumber),": Computer number is: ", str(computerNumber)) print ("We have a match.")
Looks like you assign the new number to "prompt" instead of to "myNumber". Cheers, Cameron Simpson <c...@zip.com.au> In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
