Simple beginner query--Please help!Thanks - Nienie - Jun-26-2020
Hi everyone,
I am a very fresh learner and have a question regarding the guess number game below. Please help!
My question is the result still goes 'Let's try again' even when I try 9, which is the correct one.
The code I type:
>>> while True:
value=input("Please guess a number:")
if value==int('9'):
print("Good!")
else:
print("Let's try again!")
continue
break
....

Hi, it is not because 9 is also a number that it is always a number.
expecially not with the imput() statement.

You should convert user input (value) to int and then compare it to 9 (if int(value) == 9)
However, there is no need for conversion. One can just if value == “9”

No need to do
if value==int('9'):Python doesn't understand what do you mean by that, and hence, doesn't produce the expected outputYou can do
if value == 9 :If you want the input to directly become an integer, you can do
value = int(input("Enter a number: "))
