Coding with Loops Worksheet Print | Save
Output: Your goal
You will complete a program that asks a user to guess a number.

Part 1: Review the Code
Review the code and locate the comments with missing lines (# Fill in missing code). Copy and paste the code into the Python IDLE. Use the IDLE to fill in the missing lines of code.

On the surface this program seems simple. Allow the player to keep guessing until he/she finds the secret number. But stop and think for a moment. You need a loop to keep running until the player gets the right answer.

Some things to think about as you write your loop:

The loop will only run if the comparison is true.
(e. g., 1 < 0 would not run as it is false but 5 != 10 would run as it is true)
What variables will you need to compare?
What comparison operator will you need to use?
# Heading (name, date, and short description) feel free to use multiple lines

def main():

# Initialize variables
numGuesses = 0
userGuess = -1
secretNum = 5

name = input("Hello! What is your name?")

# Fill in the missing LOOP here.
# This loop will need run until the player has guessed the secret number.

userGuess = int(input("Guess a number between 1 and 20: "))

numGuesses = numGuesses + 1

if (userGuess < secretNum):
print("You guessed " + str(userGuess) + ". Too low.")

if (userGuess > secretNum):
print("You guessed " + str(userGuess) + ". Too high.")

# Fill in missing PRINT statement here.
# Print a single message telling the player:
# That he/she guessed the secret number
# What the secret number was
# How many guesses it took

main()
Part 2: Test Your Code
Use the Python IDLE to test the program.
Using comments, type a heading that includes your name, today’s date, and a short description.
Run your program to ensure it is working properly. Fix any errors you observe.
Example of expected output: The output below is an example of the output from the Guess the Number game. Your specific results will vary based on the input you enter.

Output

Your guessed 10. Too high.
Your guessed 1. Too low.
Your guessed 3. Too low.
Good job, Jax! You guessed my number (5) in 3 tries!

When you've completed filling in your program code, save your work by selecting 'Save' in the Python IDLE.

When you submit your assignment, you will attach this Python file separately.
