[Solved] Python: Looping issue or indentation

by


Your main issue was that you weren’t prompting them in the loop.

import random

x = random.randrange(1,1000)    
counter = 0 

while True:
    guess = int(input("I have a number between 1 and 1000. Can you guess my number?\nPlease type your first guess.")) 
    if guess == x:
        print ("Excellent! You guessed the number in", counter,"tries.")
        break
    else:
        if guess > x:
            print("high")
        else:
            print("low")
        counter += 1

To prompt the user if they wish to play again, you’d do the following: 

import random

x = random.randrange(1,1000)    
counter = 0 

while True:
    guess = int(input("I have a number between 1 and 1000. Can you guess my number?\nPlease type your first guess.")) 
    if guess == x:
        print ("Excellent! You guessed the number in", counter,"tries.")
        play_again = input("Type Y if you'd like to play again, or N if not")
        if play_again == 'N':
            break
    else:
        if guess > x:
            print("high")
        else:
            print("low")
        counter += 1
