guess game: My guess

Here's a quick visual take on what i see that are likely causing some of your issues. I may have missed something or misinterpreted.

def validate_guess():
if plyr_guess != int:
    print("Whoops! You didn't enter a number!")
    plyr_guess = input("Please enter a number between 1-10.")
elif plyr_guess > 10:
    print("Whoops! You're number should be between 1-10.")
    plyr_guess = input("Please enter a number between 1-10.")
else:
    break

• You'll need to indent the method body (everything after the def line).
• You're using break here which is to break out of a loop (i.e. exit the loop early) and isn't valid or needed here. The method will return at the end of execution if neither of the two if / elif statements are true, so you can safely remove the else and break lines here.

def count_guess():
while True:
    count < 4:
    if plyr_guess != target_num:
    elif plyr_guess < target_num:
        print("Nope! Guess higher!")
        count += 1
    elif plyr_guess > target_num:
        print("Nope! Guess lower!")
        count += 1
else:
    print("Congratulations! You won in", count, " tries!")
    exit()

• Again you'll need to indent the method body.
• Was count < 4 line meant to be the condition of the loop instead of while True?
• I believe the first if condition is redundant as it will be covered by either plyr_guess < target_num or plyr_guess > target_num and may also be a syntax error since it has no body.
• Also i think the else line here is meant to be in line with the rest of the conditions? If not it will need a corresponding if statement.

import random

target_num = random.randint(1,10)
total = 0
count = 0
#Explain the rules of game
print("Hmmmm. . . . I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10. Can you guess it? I'll give you 3 tries.)"
plyr_guess = input("Please enter a number between 1-10.")
random_num()
#Read guess and validate that plyr_guess is an integer.
 validate_guess()

evaluate_num()

• It's customary to include import calls at the top of the file.
• Your closing parenthesis of the line that prints the game rules is inside of your quotes.
• You haven't defined random_num()

Hope that helps get you on the way! Post the results when you're done so we can try it out!

Cheers.
