I have recently been learning python code so I decided to do a Guess the Number Game.
Note: Please do not publish code under your name, Thank You
This is the Code:

#Random Number Guess
#You get as many tries at guessing
#the pesudorandom number, as you want!
#Novus Cladus 11/06/2012
import random
print "Random Number Guess"
print "\n"
number = random.randrange(100)+1
loopnumber = 0
tries = int(raw_input("How many tries would you like? "))
frozentries = tries
while loopnumber != frozentries:
    loopnumber += 1
    guess = int(raw_input("Please enter your " + str(loopnumber) + " Guess: "))
    if guess == number:
        print("You Won!!!!")
        break
    if loopnumber == frozentries:
        print("Game Over")
        print("Answer: " + str(number))
        break
    if guess > number:
        print("Too High")
    if guess < number:
        print("Too Low")

I hope you like it

I found some mistakes in my code so I modified it. Here's the new code:

#Random Number Guess
#You get as many tries at guessing
#the pesudorandom number, as you want!
#Novus Cladus 11/06/2012
import random
print "Random Number Guess"
print "\n"
number = random.randrange(100)+1
loopnumber = 0
tries = int(raw_input("How many tries would you like? "))
while loopnumber != tries:
    loopnumber += 1
    guess = int(raw_input("Please enter your " + str(loopnumber) + " Guess: "))
    if guess == number:
        print("You Won!!!!")
        break
    if loopnumber == tries:
        print("Game Over")
        print("Answer: " + str(number))
        break
    if guess > number:
        print("Too High")
    if guess < number:
        print("Too Low")

I promise, no one here will publish your code under their name.

Haha I don't know why I put that there.

Good work man; thanks to you, I was inspired to make an attempt at this guessing game. (I don't think its 100% functional but I learned about random() from you. Thanks

def main():
    while True:
        request = str(input('Play? [y/N]: '))
        if 'y' in request.lower():
            phase2()
        elif 'n' in request.lower():
            break
        else:
            print('Invalid Value')
            main()

def phase2():
    import random
    answer = random.randrange(0, 101)
    start = 0
    while (start < 6):
        print ('You only have 5 chances (number is in between 0 - 100)')
        print ('Attempt', start) 
        retry = int(input('Guess:> '))
        start += 1
        if retry < answer:
            print ('A little higher')
        elif retry > answer:
            print ('A little lower')
        elif retry == answer:
            print ('Congrats')
        else:
            print ('Invalid Input')
        
main()

I plan on messing with this more, but for now this is what I made

Looking at this code, what does random.randrange(x,y) do that random.randint(x,y) doesn't? Are they interchangeable or do they return something different?

Hello, documentation!

Quote

random.randrange([start], stop[, step])
Return a randomly selected element from range(start, stop, step). This is equivalent to choice(range(start, stop, step)), but doesn’t actually build a range object.


random.randint(a,
Return a random integer N such that a <= N <= b.

Looks like randrange allows you to specify a step, as ranges do. So you could presumably get a random even number between 2 and 48, or something.

Try it and report back.

Thank you! So, in this instance, it looks like random.randint would have worked equally well since integers were specified and a step was not. Right?

Let's find out....

The interpreter says yes:

>>> import random
>>> random.randrange(1,10,1)
8
>>> random.randrange(1,10)
2
>>> random.randint(1,10)
7
>>>
