SRY, that last bit of code got messed up. Hopefully it will look right now...
#define two functions first, then use them. def loopfunc(looping): while looping: guess= input("guess a number. see if you can guess what I'm thinking") if guess == number: print "you got it!" looping=False playagain("") print "looping while statement now complete" elif guess < number: print "nope, a little higher!" else: print "no, a little lower!" def playagain(again): again="" again= input("would you like to play again? type '1' for yes and '2' for no") if again==1: print "great!" loopfunc(True) elif again==2: print "aww! Ok, bye then" return else: print "that's not a 1 or a 2! Try again!" playagain("") number=24 loopfunc(True) > > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
