You may be better off using if statements. If number is less than 5 print guess higher else print guess lower Then wrap all of that in a while loop with a condition of while less than 5.

What you seem to be doing is you ask for input and then you execute the loop not letting the user input the new number and thus running into an infinite loop. >> >> This might fix it, not tested though :) >> >> print("Welcome.") >> g = input("Guess the number: ") >> guess = int(g) >> >> while guess != 5 >> print("Guess again.") >> guess = int(g) >> print("Correct") >> >> >> Thanks >> Amit >> On 4/13/2015 11:01 AM, Michael Havens wrote: >> print("Welcome.") >> g = input("Guess the number: ") >> guess = int(g) >> while guess != 5: >> print("Guess again.") >> print("Correct") >> >> --------------------------------------------------- >> PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org >> To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: >> http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss >> >> --------------------------------------------------- >> PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org >> To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: >> http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss > > --------------------------------------------------- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: > http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss > > > > --------------------------------------------------- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: > http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
