while loop is not running correctly

Question

In my code for guessing game, even when the guess is 1, it returns that the guess is too high. Cant figure it out. Thanks!

Aside, your last print line seems to be incomplete. I believe you want to show number of guesses but your `guessCounter` is actually a running list with the `guessNums` appended. So, add a `+ len(guessCounter)` at end of print statement. Also, it wouldn't be average but total. — Parfait, Mar 06 '15 at 02:45

Essentially you should not be using raw_input as this will get you a string and not an integer. Try using input

Please see this question for more details: Python read input as integers

Important to note that raw_input is no longer available as of Python 3.0 – Stephen Mar 06 '15 at 02:33
i tried that too and it wont get rid of the issue which it always outputs guess is too high even when i input '1' and I'm running 2.7 – Jae Song Mar 06 '15 at 02:38
I just ran the code with the change suggested: int(input('Enter a number between 1 and 100: ')); and also: print str(guessNum) + " is too low". The code worked fine – Stephen Mar 06 '15 at 02:42
Make sure to change the raw_input in all 3 places – Stephen Mar 06 '15 at 02:43
I tried the str(guessNum), now it only returns that it is too low instead of too high even when I tried 99 – Jae Song Mar 06 '15 at 02:48
And i really appreciate your help =D – Jae Song Mar 06 '15 at 02:49
Are you sure you changed all the raw_inputs to inputs? It works fine for me when I change it everywhere – Stephen Mar 06 '15 at 04:01

Your guessNum is string. Need to make it to int when ever you expect a user to input an integer. For example:

guessNum = int(raw_input('Enter a number between 1 and 100: '))

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Jae\Desktop\Scripting\q1", line 23, in main() File "C:\Users\Jae\Desktop\Scripting\q1", line 12, in main print guessNum + " is too low" TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str' – Jae Song Mar 06 '15 at 02:35
@JeffCrackalack You cant add integers to strings. to do so, need to convert int to string or you string formating. Example of the first case: `str(guessNum) + " is too high, try again:"` and second: `"{} is too high, try again:".format(guessNum)` – Marcin Mar 06 '15 at 02:37
can you please examine my comment to the answer(Chuckie) below. I really don't understand why its not printing correctly. Thank you so much – Jae Song Mar 06 '15 at 03:00
