This exercise is to write a program which asks the user to guess a number and the program will give hints to help the user guess the correct answer.<\/p>\n
To display a prompt waiting for a user to enter some data, we use the To control the flow of the program based on the user’s answers, we use Sometimes we want more functionality than is provided in the base python system. In our example we want a random number generator which is available in the In the previous countdown examples, we can put a timer to ensure the countdown happens one second at a time.<\/p>\n This exercise is to write a program which asks the user to guess a number and the program will give hints to help the user guess the correct answer. To display a prompt waiting for a user to enter some data, we use the input() function.
