Hi this might be a obvious answer but I cant get the random number to display when i put my name as ranNum , This is kind of a dev key to see if the random number works, I know I could just put print (ranNum) but I would like it in the python program. Thanks.

import random
print("Hello \nPlease enter your name")
myName = input()
ranNum = random.randint(1, 100)


if myName == ranNum:
    print (ranNum)
else:
    print ()

---

I got it working I am really stupid

Just add a variable called devkey = 'ranNum'
then:
if myName == devkey:
print (ranNum)
else:
print ()

given that you generate random number between 1 and 100, the chance that you enter the same number (even if you call it 'name') is 1 in 100 (probability/statistics).
And if you really input your name and not number it will never print the number.

... add to that that ranNum is int, and myName is str

Hello! You can't compare a string against an integer in your if statement.
