I need help on a python guessing game

I need help changing the range and showing the user what the range is so they know if they are closer or not. I have given the description I have been given. On what I need to do . I have given the code that I have come up wit so far. Let me know if you need anything else from me.
Step 6 – Guiding the user with the range of values to select between
Add functionality so that when displaying the guess prompt it will display the current range
to guess between based on the user’s guesses accounting for values that are too high and too
low. It will start out by stating What is your guess between 1 and 100, inclusive?, but as
the user guesses the range will become smaller and smaller based on the value being higher
or lower than what the user guessed, e.g., What is your guess between 15 and 32,
inclusive? The example output below should help clarify.
EXAMPLE
----------------
What is your guess between 1 and 44 inclusive? 2
Your guess was too low. Guess again.
import random
import sys
def main():
print("Assignment 6 BY enter name.")
welcome()
play()
#Part 1
def welcome():
print("Welcome to the guessing game. I have selected a number between 1 and 100 inclusive. ")
print("Your goal is to guess it in as few guesses as possible. Let’s get started.")
print("\n")
def play():
''' Plays a guessing game'''
number = int(random.randrange(1,10))
guess = int(input("What is your guess between 1 and 10 inclusive ?: "))
number_of_guess = 0
while guess != number :
(number)
#Quit
if guess == -999:
print("Thanks for Playing")
sys.exit(0)
#Guessing
if guess < number:
if guess < number:
guess = int(input("Your guess was too low. Guess Again: "))
number_of_guess += 1
elif guess not in range(1,11):
print("Invalid guess – out of range. Guess doesn’t count. : ")
guess = int(input("Guess Again: "))
else:
guess = input("Soemthing went wrong guess again: ")
if guess > number:
if guess > number:
guess = int(input("Your guess was too high. Guess Again: "))
number_of_guess += 1
elif guess not in range(1,11):
print("Invalid guess – out of range. Guess doesn’t count. : ")
guess = int(input("Guess Again: "))
else:
guess = input("Soemthing went wrong guess again: ")
#Winner
if guess == number :
number_of_guess += 1
print("Congratulations you won in " + str(number_of_guess) + " tries!")
again()
def again():
''' Prompts users if they want to go again'''
redo = input("Do you want to play again (Y or N)?: ")
if redo.upper() == "Y":
print("OK. Let’s play again.")
play()
elif redo.upper() == "N":
print("OK. Have a good day.")
sys.exit(0)
else:
print("I’m sorry, I do not understand that answer.")
again()
main()

What you'll need is a place to hold the user's lowest and highest guess. Then you'd use those for the range checks, instead of the hardcoded 1 and 11. With each guess, if it's a valid one, you then would compare it to the lowest and highest values, and if it's lower than the lowest then it sets the lowest value to the guess, and if it's higher than the highest it'll set the highest value to the guess. Lastly you'll need to update the input() string to display the lowest and highest guesses instead of a hardcoded '1' and '10'.

You need to simplify a lot your code. Like there is about 6 different places where you ask a new value, there sould be only one, also don't call method recursivly (call again() in again()) and such call between again>play>again.
Use an outer while loop to run games, and inside it an inner while loop for the game, and most important keep track of lower_bound and upper_bound
import random
import sys
def main():
print("Assignment 6 BY enter name.")
welcome()
redo = "Y"
while redo.upper() == "Y":
print("Let’s play")
play()
redo = input("Do you want to play again (Y or N)?: ")
def welcome():
print("Welcome to the guessing game. I have selected a number between 1 and 100 inclusive. ")
print("Your goal is to guess it in as few guesses as possible. Let’s get started.\n")
def play():
lower_bound, upper_bound = 0, 100
number = int(random.randrange(lower_bound, upper_bound))
print(number)
guess = -1
number_of_guess = 0
while guess != number:
guess = int(input(f"What is your guess between {lower_bound} and {upper_bound - 1} inclusive ?: "))
if guess == -999:
print("Thanks for Playing")
sys.exit(0)
elif guess not in list(range(lower_bound, upper_bound)):
print("You're outside the range")
continue
number_of_guess += 1
if guess < number:
print("Your guess was too low")
lower_bound = guess
elif guess > number:
print("Your guess was too high")
upper_bound = guess
print("Congratulations you won in", number_of_guess, "tries!")

Can someone show me a more efficient/shorter way to write this python random # program?

I am new to python and I am eager to learn a shorter way of writing a random number program I made.
import random
a = random.randint(1,100)
for x in range(5):
num = int(input("Guess my random number:\n"))
if(num < a):
print("Your guess is too small!")
continue
elif(num > a):
print("Your guess is too big!")
continue
else:
print("You got it!")
break
if (num == a):
print("Hooray!")
else:
print("You ran out of guesses!")
print("The random number was:", a)
print("Your last guess was:", num)
print("It took you this many tries:", x+1)

import random
a = random.randint(1,100)
for x in range(5):
num = int(input("Guess my random number:\n"))
if num < a:
print("Your guess is too small!")
elif num > a:
print("Your guess is too big!")
else:
print("You got it!")
print("Hooray!")
break
else:
print("You ran out of guesses!")
print(f"The random number was: {a}")
print(f"Your last guess was: {num}")
print(f"It took you {x+1} tries.")
For loop in python supports else keyword. The code after else is executed, if loop is exited normally (without break). Your 'Hoorray!' is printed only right after 'You got it!' or not printed at all, so they can be merged.

As #Chris_Rands mentions, the code is overall ok (except for the indentation, which I assume is an error when pasting. The continues are not needed though, and the extra parenthesis either.
import random
a = random.randint(1, 100)
for x in range(5):
num = int(input("Guess my random number:\n"))
if num != a:
print("Your guess is too %s!" % 'small' if num < a else 'big')
else:
print("You got it!\nHooray!")
break
else:
print("You ran out of guesses!")
print("The random number was:", a)
print("Your last guess was:", num)
print("It took you %s many tries" % x+1)

python loop wont loop back

hi I'm doing the number guessing game for school. the code repeats "too high/too low" when i picked a different number and sometimes even to 0, still wont show me the correct answer. do you know why?
counter=0
while counter<=10:
counter+=1
if counter==10:
print('too many guesses try again')
break
elif guess>rand_num:
int(input('too high, try again:'))
elif guess<rand_num:
int(input('too low try again:'))
elif rand_num==guess:
print('Congratations you got it in', counter, 'guesses')
break
else:
print('something went wrong try to fix the code')```

You aren't assigning the value to the guess variable
elif guess>rand_num:
guess = int(input('too high, try again:'))
elif guess<rand_num:
guess = int(input('too low try again:'))
elif rand_num==guess:
guess = print('Congratations you got it in', counter, 'guesses')
break
else:
print('something went wrong try to fix the code')'

Try this out.
import random
import math
# Taking Inputs
lower = int(input("Enter Lower bound:- "))
# Taking Inputs
upper = int(input("Enter Upper bound:- "))
# generating random number between
# the lower and upper
x = random.randint(lower, upper)
print("\n\tYou've only ",
round(math.log(upper - lower + 1, 2)),
" chances to guess the integer!\n")
# Initializing the number of guesses.
count = 0
# for calculation of minimum number of
# guesses depends upon range
while count < math.log(upper - lower + 1, 2):
count += 1
# taking guessing number as input
guess = int(input("Guess a number:- "))
# Condition testing
if x == guess:
print("Congratulations you did it in ",
count, " try")
# Once guessed, loop will break
break
elif x > guess:
print("You guessed too small!")
elif x < guess:
print("You Guessed too high!")
# If Guessing is more than required guesses,
# shows this output.
if count >= math.log(upper - lower + 1, 2):
print("\nThe number is %d" % x)
print("\tBetter Luck Next time!")

Project with a python loop program

My son has this project he has to do in python and is stuck.
He needs to make a number guessing game. The code must generate a random secret number between 0 and 10, then give the user 5 attempts to guess that number, each guess if not correct must indicate if it is higher or lower than the secret random number. After each guess the code needs to display text stating what has happened. The code also needs to store all guesses and display them at the end. Needs to be made using loop, if, elif, else and an array or list code.
The attempt so far is below
print("Hi there, lets play a little guessing game. Guess the number between 0 and 10")
from random import randint
x = [randint(0,10)]
counter = 0
guess = input("Enter guess:")
while counter < 5:
print("You have " + str(counter) + " guesses left")
counter = counter +1
if guess == x:
print("Congrats you got it")
break
elif guess > x:
print("Too high")
elif guess < x:
print("Too low")
else:
print("You lost")
break
Any help to correct my sons code would be appreciated as this project is due soon and he cannot access his tutor

This should do it. What the code does is explained in comments below.
You need to do x=randint(0,10) which will assign the random number to a variable, i.e x=4 rather than `x = [randint(0,10)], which assigns the random number to a list ,x=[4]```
Also you need to ask for a guess in the loop, instead of doing it only one before the loop started.
Also you would need to convert the string to an int for comparison i.e. guess = int(input("Enter guess:"))
print("Hi there, lets play a little guessing game. Guess the number between 0 and 10")
#Create a random number
from random import randint
x = randint(0, 10)
counter = 0
won = False
#Run 5 attempts in a loop
while counter<5:
#Get the guess from the user
guess = int(input("Enter guess:"))
counter = counter+1
#Check if the guess is the same, low or high as the random number
if guess == x:
print("Congrats you got it")
won = True
break
elif guess > x:
print("Too high")
elif guess < x:
print("Too low")
print("You have " + str(5 - counter) + " guesses left")
#If you didn't won, you lost
if not won:
print("The number was ", x)
print("You Lost")

So here are the corrections. So x has been initialized as array rather than an integer. So none of the comparisons with guess will be working. Also the counter logic is wrong. Rather than starting from zero, start from 5 which is the maximum number of chances and go from the reverse rather. Then at each if/elif loop append all the guesses and print it in the end.
Here is the corrected code
from random import randint
x = randint(0,10)
print(x)
counter = 5
guesses=[] #initalize an empty list to store all guesses
while counter != 0:
guess = input("Enter guess:")
if guess == x:
print("Congrats you got it")
guesses.append(guess)
break
elif guess > x:
print("Too high")
guesses.append(guess)
elif guess < x:
print("Too low")
guesses.append(guess)
else:
print("You lost")
break
counter = counter-1
print("You have " + str(counter) + " guesses left")
print(guesses)

Edit:
x = [randint(0,10)] wouldn't work as you are creating a list here instead of single guess
print("You have " + str(counter) + " guesses left") is also incorrect. You might instead set counter to 5 and check for counter > 0 and do counter -= 1, that way message can be fixed
Lastly to store all guesses you would need a variable
from random import randint
if __name__ == "__main__":
number_to_guess = randint(0,10)
guesses = []
for c in range(5,0,-1):
guessed = input("Enter guess:")
guessed = guessed.strip()
assert guessed.isnumeric()
guessed = int(guessed)
guesses.append(guessed)
if guessed == number_to_guess:
print("yes")
break
elif guessed > number_to_guess:
print("more")
else:
print("less")
c -= 1
print("pending guesses", c)
print("Expected - ", number_to_guess)
print("All guesses - ", guesses)

Python Random Guessing Game

Implement the GuessNumber game. In this game, the computer
- Think of a random number in the range 0-50. (Hint: use the random module.)
- Repeatedly prompt the user to guess the mystery number.
- If the guess is correct, congratulate the user for winning. If the guess is incorrect, let the user know if the guess is too high or too low.
- After 5 incorrect guesses, tell the user the right answer.
The following is an example of correct input and output.
I’m thinking of a number in the range 0-50. You have five tries to
guess it.
Guess 1? 32
32 is too high
Guess 2? 18
18 is too low
Guess 3? 24
You are right! I was thinking of 24!
This is what I got so far:
import random
randomNumber = random.randrange(0,50)
print("I’m thinking of a number in the range 0-50. You have five tries to guess it.")
guessed = False
while guessed == False:
userInput = int(input("Guess 1?"))
if userInput == randomNumber:
guessed = True
print("You are right! I was thinking of" + randomNumber + "!")
elif userInput>randomNumber:
print(randomNumber + "is too high.")
elif userInput < randomNumber:
print(randomNumber + "is too low.")
elif userInput > 5:
print("Your guess is incorrect. The right answer is" + randomNumber)
print("End of program")
I've been getting a syntax error and I don't know how to make the guess increase by one when the user inputs the wrong answer like, Guess 1?, Guess 2?, Guess 3?, Guess 4?, Guess 5?, etc...

Since you know how many times you're going through the loop, and want to count them, use a for loop to control that part.
for guess_num in range(1, 6):
userInput = int(input(f"Guess {guess_num} ? "))
if userInput == randomNumber:
# insert "winner" logic here
break
# insert "still didn't guess it" logic here
Do you see how that works?

You forgot to indent the code that belongs in your while loop. Also, you want to keep track of how many times you guessed, with a variable or a loop as suggested. Also, when giving a hint you probably want to print the number guessed by the player, not the actual one. E.g.,
import random
randomNumber = random.randrange(0,50)
print("I’m thinking of a number in the range 0-50. You have five tries to guess it.")
guessed = False
count = 0
while guessed is False and count < 5:
userInput = int(input("Guess 1?"))
count += 1
if userInput == randomNumber:
guessed = True
print("You are right! I was thinking of" + randomNumber + "!")
elif userInput > randomNumber:
print(str(userInput) + " is too high.")
elif userInput < randomNumber:
print(str(userInput) + " is too low.")
if count == 5:
print("Your guess is incorrect. The right answer is" + str(randomNumber))
print("End of program")

You are facing the syntax error because you are attempting to add an integer to a string. This is not possible. To do what you want you need to convert randomNumber in each print statement.
import random
randomNumber = random.randrange(0,50)
print("I’m thinking of a number in the range 0-50. You have five tries to guess it.")
guessed = False
while guessed == False:
userInput = int(input("Guess 1?"))
if userInput == randomNumber:
guessed = True
print("You are right! I was thinking of" + str(randomNumber) + "!")
elif userInput>randomNumber:
print(str(randomNumber) + "is too high.")
elif userInput < randomNumber:
print(str(randomNumber) + "is too low.")
elif userInput > 5:
print("Your guess is incorrect. The right answer is" + randomNumber)
print("End of program")

import random
arr=[]
for i in range(50):
arr.append(i)
answer=random.choice(arr)
for trial in range(5):
guess=int(input("Please enter your guess number between 0-50. You have 5
trials to guess the number."))
if answer is guess:
print("Congratulations....You have guessed right number")
break
elif guess < answer-5:
print("You guessed too low....Try again")
elif guess > answer+5:
print("You guessed too high..Try again")
else:
print("Incorrect guess...Try again please")
print("the answer was: "+str(answer))

Just a three things to add:
The "abstract syntax tree" has a method called literal_eval that is going to do a better job of parsing numbers than int will. It's the safer way to evaluate code than using eval too. Just adopt that method, it's pythonic.
I'm liberally using format strings here, and you may choose to use them. They're fairly new to python; the reason to use them is that python strings are immutable, so doing the "This " + str(some_number) + " way" is not pythonic... I believe that it creates 4 strings in memory, but I'm not 100% on this. At least look into str.format().
The last extra treat in this is conditional assignment. The result = "low" if userInput < randomNumber else "high" line assigns "low" of the condition is met and "high" otherwise. This is only here to show off the power of the format string, but also to help contain conditional branch complexity (win and loss paths are now obvious). Probably not a concern for where you are now. But, another arrow for your quiver.
import random
from ast import literal_eval
randomNumber = random.randrange(0,50)
print("I’m thinking of a number in the range 0-50. You have five tries to guess it.")
win = False
for guess_count in range(1,6):
userInput = literal_eval(input(f"Guess {guess_count}: "))
if userInput == randomNumber:
print(f"You are right! I was thinking of {randomNumber}!")
win = True
break
else:
result = "low" if userInput < randomNumber else "high"
print(f"{userInput} is too {result}")
if win:
print ("YOU WIN!")
else:
print("Better luck next time")
print("End of program")
