Guess a number

[scidam]

Recursive invocation is limited by depth.

count = 0
def main():
    global count
    count += 1
    return count

main()

This code leads to

Output:
 
File "<stdin>", line 4, in main
  File "<stdin>", line 4, in main
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded
>>> count
999

So, the program can't produce too much queries (but this behavior (recursion depth) could be tweaked).

Using infinite loop is more preferable in this case.

from random import randint
it = randint(0, 101)
def guess():
    while True:
        x = int(input('Guess a number one through one hundred: '))
        if x == it:
            print("You got it!")
            break
        elif x > it:
            print("too high")
        else:
            print("too low")
guess()
