same number everytime when using random.randint

[newbieAuggie2019]

Thank you so much newbieAuggie2019! I made the changes you have suggested, it works and finally makes sense to me!

By the way, I guess you are just practising and seeing what your code does, because otherwise, I wouldn't find very interesting a guessing-a-number game, knowing it from the beginning. I mean, you can store the number generated by the program without printing it on the screen. That is to say, I would delete the line

print(luck)

from the real game.

I put it on line 5 to see if the code was checking that number. I wasn't sure if the code chose a different number every time it was run. Now that I know it does stay the same, I decided to take lines 11 and 15 out so it didn't change the number as you suggested.

Thanks again!

I thought so, I also do it to see if everything is working...

You are welcome!

By the way, you are saying you took out lines 11 and 15. According to the line numeration as appeared here on your original post, the lines to be taken out are 10 and 14, the ones that say:

        luck = random.randint(1, 3)

Probably at home you have an additional blank line or a comment that makes there the lines 10 and 14 to appear as 11 and 15, but I just wanted to clarify it, just in case...

I'm also learning, and I like to start the easy way and to add other things bit by bit. For instance, you could add now a counter, and make the program tell you something of the sort of: "You are the best! You guessed the number in just "X" tries!", while having fun. Of course, for that, I would change the range to generate a random number from 1 to 20, or from 1 to 50, or from 1 to 100. Even, later on, you could make that a choice of difficulty of the game like easy, medium and difficult. Anything as you are having fun and learning.

All the best,
