how to manage an input()

[jefsummers]

Something like this will get you pointed in right direction (the first part is your code)

import random
secret = random.randint(0,50)
 
message = 'Pick a number from 1 to 49: '
 
even_number = (secret % 2) == 0
 
if even:
    print("The number is even")
else:
    print("The number is odd")
 
attempts = 0
MAX = 5
found = False  
while not found:
    guess = int(input('Enter a guess: '))
    if guess == secret:
        blah
    elif guess > secret:
        blah
    elif guess < secret:
        blah
