Cool, that is sorta how I wrote it before though they haven't gone over
elif yet. As a result of that I deleted 'g = input("Guess the number: ")'
and it kept complaining about the variable not being defined. Question
though:
could we change the 'g' to some other letter...... never mind! I just tried
it with 'w' and it works. What does that digit represent?
