My refinement of number_game.py

Hi everyone.

I've just tweaked this program, as per Kenneth's suggestion. I've made some modifications:

  1. The player has to guess a number between 1 and 100.
  2. If the guess is correct, the player will be congratulated.
  3. If the guess is too low, the player will be told to guess higher.
  4. If the guess is too high, the player will be told to guess lower.

Here it is:

import random

# generate random number between 1 and 100
secret_num = random.randint(1, 100)

while True:
    # get number guess from player
    guess = int(input("Guess a number between 1 and 100: "))

    # compare guess to secret number
    if guess == secret_num:
        print("Well done! My number was: {}".format(secret_num))
        break
    elif guess < secret_num:
        print("Higher!")
    else:
        print("Lower!")

Have fun! I did!

Sean :-)
