here is what I have (that sorta works): print("Welcome.") g = input("Guess the number: ") guess = int(g) while guess < 5: g = input("Guess the number: ") guess = int(g) print("Guess higher.") while guess > 5: g = input("Guess the number: ") guess = int(g) print ("Guess lower.") print("Correct") What I mean by 'sorta' is if the first guess is not correct it does not give a suggestion to guess lower or higher. Why is this? :-)~MIKE~(-: On Mon, Apr 13, 2015 at 12:32 PM, Michael Havens wrote: > that makes sense... thanks! > > :-)~MIKE~(-: > > On Mon, Apr 13, 2015 at 12:31 PM, Sesso wrote: > >> The while needs to before input so that it will wait for input if the >> variable is not equal to 5. >> >> Jason >> >> >> On Apr 13, 2015, at 12:21 PM, Michael Havens wrote: >> >> nope. that didn't fix it. >> >> >> :-)~MIKE~(-: >> >> On Mon, Apr 13, 2015 at 11:46 AM, Amit Nepal wrote: >> >>> You would probably want to wait and ask for the input inside the loop as >>> well.
