RE: [Python] Guess your number - chmod - 02-14-2013

Not bad as the old saying goes there's more than one way to skin a cat the only thing is you got

Code:
if x == 'h':
         high = ans
    elif x == 'l':
         low = ans

the wrong way around it should be:

Code:
if x == 'h':
         low = ans
    elif x == 'l':
         high = ans

It's always nice to see other people's aproach to somthing though

EDIT

disregard that I see what you did now you mean state if he guess was low or high no he direction the program needs to go

That's awesome! I really need to learn Python. By the way, I think you meant "higher" not "higer" Tongue

Seriously though cool little program xD

I did indeed how come it's always someone else who spots he typo's? Thanks for the feedback though I appreciate it

") if x == 'h': high = ans elif x == 'l': low = ans elif x == 'c': break else: print("Sorry, I did not understand your input.") ans = (high + low)/2 print("Game over. Your secret number was: "+str(ans))

I think this is a good way as well, instead of random I use bisection search, - in this program I do not count the tries but I can write it in if it's necessary - . I'm a newbie so correct me if I'm wrong, but using this method will get the guessed number faster sometimes.

You are right, that this is a faster approach, but it is also less interesting for the user, because the way of the computer's guessing will be determined.
