Question

Modify the guessing-game program so that the user thinks of a number that the computer must guess.

Answer 1

Answer:

import random

import math

smaller = int(input("Enter the smaller number: "))

larger = int(input("Enter the larger number: "))

count = 0

print()

while True:

   count += 1

   myNumber = (smaller + larger) // 2

   print('%d %d' % (smaller, larger))

   print('Your number is %d' % myNumber)

   choice = input('Enter =, <, or >: ')

   if choice == '=':

       print("Hooray, I've got it in %d tries" % count)

       break

   elif smaller == larger:

       print("I'm out of guesses, and you cheated")

       break

   elif choice == '<':

       larger = myNumber - 1

   else:

       smaller = myNumber + 1

Explanation:

The code to be Modified is as indicated below:

# Modify the code below:

import random

smaller = int(input("Enter the smaller number: "))

larger = int(input("Enter the larger number: "))

myNumber = random.randint(smaller, larger)

count = 0

while True:

   count += 1

   userNumber = int(input("Enter your guess: "))

   if userNumber < myNumber:

       print("Too small")

   elif userNumber > myNumber:

       print("Too large")

   else:

       print("You've got it in", count, "tries!")

       break

Detailed Explanation:

Line 3 and 4 of the codes prompts the user to enter a smaller and larger number. Line 5 we initiate the formula for minimum number of guesses. Line 14 and 17 prints out the output  I'm out of guesses, and you cheated and Hooray, I've got it in X after validating the conditions.
