elif is what you want to use. Here try this. :)



elif = else if

I added the g=0 because the variable needed to be defined.
Same with guess.


#!/usr/bin/env python
print("Welcome.")
g=0
guess = int(g)
while guess != 5:
    g = input("Guess the number: ")
    guess = int(g)
    if guess < 5:
        print("Guess higher.")
    elif guess > 5:
        print("Guess lower.")
    else:
        print("Correct.”)

Okay Jason, I did it your way. The resulting code being 2 lines shorter. Unfortunately I still have the same problem as before (that being if the guess is wrong it gives no suggestion as to higher/lower but rather just asks you to guess again):

python 1-30guess.py 
Welcome.
Guess the number: 0
Guess the number: 0
Guess higher.
Guess the number: 9
Guess lower.
Guess the number: 8
Guess lower.
Guess the number: 7
Guess lower.
Guess the number: 6
Guess lower.
Guess the number: 5
Guess lower.
Correct.

 here is the code:

#!/usr/bin/env python
print("Welcome.")
g = input("Guess the number: ")
guess = int(g)
while guess != 5:
    g = input("Guess the number: ")
    guess = int(g)
    if guess < 5:
        print("Guess higher.")
    else:
        print("Guess lower.")
print("Correct.")

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.

however it does give suggestions on subsequent guesses....

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?

The while needs to before input so that it will wait for input if the variable is not equal to 5.

You would probably want to wait and ask for the input inside the loop as well. 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
