Hi all, I am new to the group. Trying to learn Python programming on my
own. I am working through Michael Dawson's Book Python Programming for the
absolute beginner.
I am tring to write a program that is a number guessing game. I want to be
able to give the user 5 tries to guess the number before the program ends.
I get the result that I want when the user misses after the 5th try. But it
does not go down to my closing statement to end. Rather is askes for
another guess.
I appreciate any help you can give. If this is not the correct group for
these types of questions, I apologize and hope that you can direct me to
another NG.
Thanks,
Chad

print "\nTry to Guess it in as few attempts as possible.\n"
#Set the initial values

guess = int(raw_input("Take a guess:"))
tries = 1
#Guessing Loop
while (guess != the_number):
if (guess >the_number):
print "Lower..."
else:
print "Higher..."
guess = int(raw_input("Take another Guess:"))
tries +=1
if tries == 5:
print "Sorry you lose."
print "The Correct Number was ", the_number
print "You guess correctly!!"
print "The number was:", the_number
print "You got it correct in", tries, "tries"
raw_input("Press Enter to exit the program")
