Why are your "numbers" (i.e. the values of the variables on lines 1-6) strings instead of integers?

Oh right, thanks alot man, i solved it
correct_number = 69
hint_a_min = 0
hint_a_max = 50
hint_b_min = 70
hint_b_max = 99
guess = int(input("Guess a number between 1 and 100: "))
guess_count = 0
guess_max = 10
out_of_guesses = False
while guess != correct_number and not(out_of_guesses):
if (hint_a_min <= guess <= hint_a_max) and (guess_count < guess_max):
guess = int(input("Too cold! Try again: "))
guess_count += 1
elif (hint_b_min <= guess <= hint_b_max) and (guess_count < guess_max):
guess = int(input("Too hot! Try again: "))
guess_count += 1
elif (hint_a_max < guess < hint_b_min) and (guess_count < guess_max):
guess = int(input("So close! Try again: "))
guess_count += 1
elif (guess > hint_b_max) and (guess_count < guess_max):
guess = int(input("Must be a number between 1 and 100: "))
guess_count += 1

print("Congratulations!")
