Stuck in a while loop while using if statement

Question

I'm new to python and I'm trying to make a simple Guess the number game, and I'm stuck in an if statement in a while loop. here is the code.

I'm experiencing it at the Your guess it too high and the low one. I tried breaking it, but it simply stops the whole things

def guess_the_number():
 number = random.randrange(20)
 guessesMade = 0
 print('Take a guess')
 guess = input()
 guess = int(guess)
 while guessesMade < 6:
 if guess < number:
 print('Your guess is too low.')
 if guess > number:
 print('Your guess is too high.')
 if guess == number:
 break
 if guess == number:
 print'You got it in', guessesMade, 'guess(es)! Congratulaions!'
 else:
 print'I\'m sorry, the number was', number

Answer 1

You never increment guessesMade so guessesMade < 6 will always be True. You need to modify this value within your loop. You also need to move your prompt for user input into the loop

while guessesMade < 6:
 guess = int(input('Take a guess'))
 if guess < number:
 print('Your guess is too low.')
 guessesMade += 1
 elif guess > number:
 print('Your guess is too high.')
 guessesMade += 1
 else:
 break

• GTAirpline: I have tried that already, it just prints it all again and doesn't ask the number
