Hello All, this is basically my first tackle on programming in itself. I chose python, because it seems pretty straight-forward for now. I'm on HtRegz's 2nd tutorial now, and am feeling like i'm understanding it and progressing just fine, but the while loop is just a little difficult for me to understand at first, so here is where i might need a little help
Now I feel like i answered my own question :rolleyes:Code:from random import *
answer = randint(1,25) # I'm aware this assigns a random number of 1-25 to the var 'answer'
guess = 0
counter = 0 # I'm having a hard time figuring out how the counter works
print "Welcome to the Number Guessing Game"
while guess != answer :
guess = input("Please Guess a Number between 1 and 25: ")
if guess < answer :
print "To low."
elif guess > answer :
print "To high."
counter = counter + 1
print "Congrats you guessed the correct number (",answer,") in",counter,"tries."
# I know they are are random numbers, but if you guess the right number, the counter goes up 1, but i don't understand why it goes up to 1, because there wasn't a statement anywhere that said they were equal to each other.
little help here ...
