Question

When I run my code and guess the right number, the code doesn't work and says try again.
How do I fix it?

import random   
   
number = random.randint(1,10)

print("Please enter your number down below")

yourguess = input()


if number == yourguess:

  print("You guessed it") 

else:

  print("Try again")

Welcome to Stack Overflow! It'd be great if you could change the title of your question to describe your problem. Also, note that you're working with random numbers here - how do you know you really guessed the right number? — user, Jan 29 '21 at 21:10
You are comparing an int to a string. `if str(number) == yourguess:` — β.εηοιτ.βε, Jan 29 '21 at 21:13

You either need to compare strings, or compare numbers. I suggest turning the input into an integer like this:

import random   
   
number = random.randint(1,10)

yourguess = int(input("Please enter your number: "))


if number == yourguess:

  print("You guessed it") 

else:

  print("Try again")

Input defaults to string, you need to change it to int to be comparable. Other than that your code is fine.

import random   
   
number = random.randint(1,10)

print("Please enter your number down below")

yourguess = input()
yourguess = int(yourguess)

if number == yourguess:

  print("You guessed it") 

else:

  print("Try again")
