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?
