So here are the snippets I am concerned about:
g = 0
guess = int(g)
g = input("Guess the number: ")
guess = int(g)
g = 0 is saying 'variable g is zero)
guess = int(g) is saying that the variable guess is equal to variable g and
that it is an integer
g = input("<text>") is saying that variable g is now equal to what the use
inputs as long as it is a number
the 2nd guess = int(g)is there to put the variable in the while loop
Is that correct?
