"if" statement not working on input variable

Question

Well, I am a beginner and my variable (guess) input doesn't work with the if statement:

When I put on the input numbers from 0 to 9, I want it prints out Right number!, else it print out the other message:

guess = input("Choose a number between 0-9: ")
if guess <=9 and guess >=0:
    print("Right number!")
else:
    print("The number you entered is out of range try again!")

Answer 1

The input() function returns a string, not a number (e. g. "127", not 127). You have to convert it to a number, e. g. with the help of int() function.

So instead of

guess = input("Choose a number between 0-9: ")

use

guess = int(input("Choose a number between 0-9: "))

to obtain an integer in guest variable, not a string.
Alternatively you may reach it in 2 statements - the first may be your original one, and the second will be a converting one:

guess = input("Choose a number between 0-9: ")
guess = int(guess)

Note:

Instead of

if guess <=9 and guess >=0:

you may write

if 0 <= guess <= 9:           # don't try it in other programming languages

or

if guess in range(10):        # 0 inclusive to 10 exclusive
