Flying Through Python Level 2 Challenge 11

[lc2741]

This thing is way to sensitive about everything. concatenating the strings together doesn't work for me again.

[snychka]

Hello! That's because you get a Python error. You need to explicitly convert to a str, then it'll work!

Just completed the challenges, was shows the success message, but no continue button was displayed. Minor issue, but somewhat annoying to have to navigate using the table of contents

After some attempts to make the code work, i decided to buy the anser, and even after copy and paste it, i still receive the incorrect submission error

num = 5

guess = int(input('Guess a number between 1 and 10'))
times = 1

while guess != num:
guess = int(input('Guess again'))
times = times + 1
if times == 3:
break

if guess == num:
print('You win!')
else:
print('You lose! The number was ', num)

It'd be more helpful if CodeSchool included the actual compiler errors.

plz tell me what i've been diong wrong

[btdroyale246]

Hey there @kisai87,

At the end of line 15, I think you need to convert the num variable into a string. This was my code:

I think that should sort your problems. Here is the last line, corrected:

print('You lose! The number was ' + str(num))

Thanks a lot.

Hi snychka,

I seem to be having the same problem. but I get a wierd error. Your checker says" We aren’t printing ‘You win!’ when the player wins"

here’s my code:

times = 1
while guess != num:
    guess = int(input('Guess again'))
    times = times +1
    if times == 3 :
        break
        
if guess == num:
    print('you win!')
else:
    print('you loose! The number was  ', num)

===EOF===

What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks!

moderator: formatted (i.e., escaped) so the spacing showed up.

Hello!

You’ve got the logic down pat–nice job!–just need to make the output match. Some capitalization, a spelling change, and removing a space did the trick. Just need to change your if else

if guess == num:
    print('You win!')
else:
    print('You lose! The number was ', num)

I dumped my orignal answer and just copied and pasted ryan’s answer (which was pretty much what I had written) and it worked. Wierd

[ZenCoder]

dooh! thanks !

[alevapa]

I don’t know if this will help you, but in my own coding I ran into the same problem. I tried everything-as everyone else has done. I was going nuts until I accidently scrolled down, and I found the original print(‘You win!’) statement hiding down there. It had scrolled down as I entered new lines of code, and I didn’t realize it was still there. Once I deleted that line, I registered a success and completed the challenge.

[seriousblack]

Should the final print statement not be something like so:

print('You lose! The number was %S', num)

I'm a bit confused at to how this is printed, as there's not evidence of string concatenation here.

moderator: not quite, as that'd print out You lose! The number was %S 3 You instead want

print('You lose! The number was ', num)

[stachubrachu]

Hi All,
my code:

mport random

num = random.randint(1,10)

guess = int(input('Guess a number between 1 and 10'))
times = 1

while guess != num:
    guess = int(input('Guess again'))
    times = times +1 
    if times == 3:
        break
        
    if guess == num:
        print('You win!')
    else:
        print('You lose! The number was ' + str(num))

error message:
We aren't comparing guess to num after the loop

??? please help

[snychka]

Hello!

You need to not indent the if, otherwise it's a part of the while:

times = 1

while guess != num:
    guess = int(input('Guess again'))
    times = times +1 
    if times == 3:
        break
        
if guess == num:
    print('You win!')
else:
    print('You lose! The number was ' + str(num))

(And a small paste-o where you omitted the i in import)

[Safinka]

I guess there is a bug on the site, I placed the code which I am sure is right and it shows me "We don't have variable times". So I bought the solution, copied it in (it was the same I had anyway) and received the same error! What's happening?

moderator: not sure, as this isn't the behaviour I get:

Copy your code, hit refresh and paste it in, and when you enter it, to ensure you're getting feedback on your most recent edit click the Submit button. You should then get a more sensible error, like mine, and you'll pass the first Task!

[stachubrachu]

thank you now i get it

[pelliaturner1]

The error checking is to strict on strings. I had
print('You lose! The number was ', num) #NOTE: 2 spaces after the exclamation mark - I got the 'lose statement not presnt message
I finally, after too many tries and three different browsers, removed the space:
print('You lose! The number was ', num)
and was successful.

[jcoate]

Same problem here. Kids these days with there single space after a sentence

[Liang]

Hi,I typed exactly the same as solution, but it turned out to be wrong, can someone help me figure this out?

times = 1

while guess != num:
    guess = int(input('Guess again'))
    times = times + 1
    if times == 3:
        break        
if guess == num:
    print('You win!')
else:
    print("You lose! The number was", num)

moderator: No huge worries, as tough to know, but note I formatted (i.e., escaped) your code so it's visible and its formatting is visible. Can use for future reference.
