2,154 Pointsmy code does not run
I get this message error:( except ValueError:
^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level)
I still can't see where is my problem - it started to give my headache haha
here is my code I wrote:
import random
def game(): secret_num = random.randint(1,10) guesses = []
while len(guesses) < 5:
try:
guess = int(input("Guess a number between 1 and 10: "))
except ValueError:
print("{} is not a number".format(guess))
else:
if guess == secret_num:
print("Yay you are correct, my number was {}".format(secret_num))
break
elif guess < secret_num:
print("my number is greater than {}".format(guess)
else:
print("my number is less than {}".format(guess))
guesses.append(guess)
else:
print("you didn't get it my number was {}
".format(secret_num))
play_again = input("Do you want to play again? Y/n")
if play_again.lower() != n:
game()
else:
print(" Good Bye!)
game()

import random
def game():
secret_num = random.randint(1, 10)
guesses = []
while len(guesses) < 5:
try:
guess = input("Guess a number between 1 and 10: ")
guess = int(guess)
except ValueError:
print("{} is not a number".format(guess))
else:
guesses.append(guess)
if guess == secret_num:
print("Yay you are correct, my number was {}".format(secret_num))
break
elif guess < secret_num:
print("my number is greater than {}".format(guess))
elif guess > secret_num:
print("my number is less than {}".format(guess))
guesses.append(guess)
else:
print("you didn't get it my number was {}".format(secret_num))
play_again = input("Do you want to play again? Y/n")
if play_again.lower() != n:
game()
else:
print("Good Bye!")
game()

43,783 PointsIt would be helpful if you posted your code in your question so that we can see exactly what you are submitting. It seems as though your indentation is not correct but without seeing your code it is impossible to offer any further insight.
