Write a Python program to guess a number between 1 to 9

Write a Python program to guess a number between 1 to 9 Note : User is prompted to enter a guess. If the user guesses wrong then the prompt appears again until the guess is correct, on successful guess, user will get a “Well guessed!” message, and the program will exit.

The above statement is given.. i have written code but it hangs after giving input.. after ctr+c it shows last call on if statement.

from random import randint as rt
g= rt(1,9)
ug= int(input("Guess a number"))
while True:
    if g==ug:
        print("Well guessed!")
        break
    else:
        continue

OP:

Because:

Imagine you’ve entered an incorrrect number, the condition fails, the loop continues, it checks the same condition and fails again, keeps going on and on.

What you need:

  1. Put the ug = int(input("Guess a number")) inside the while loop.

  2. Put an else block with a Incorrect Guess prompt message.

Hence:

from random import randint as rt
g= rt(1,9)

while True:
    ug = int(input("Guess a number: "))
    if g==ug:
        print("Well guessed!")
        break
    else:
        print("Incorrect!n")

OUTPUT:

Guess a number: 4
Incorrect!

Guess a number: 5
Incorrect!

Guess a number: 6
Incorrect!

Guess a number: 7
Incorrect!

Guess a number: 8
Well guessed!
