number guess whole script - not working

import random

Line 7 comes up with an error when I run. This is the script from the video. any idea why it isn't working?

random_num = random.randint(1, 10) guessed_nums = [] allowed_guesses = 5

while len(guessed_nums) < allowed_guesses guess = input(“Guess a number between 1 and 10:”)

try:
    player_num = int(guess)
except:
    print (“That’s not a whole number!”)
    break

if not player_num > 0 or not player_num < 11:
    print (“That’s too high a number!”)
    break

guessed_nums.append(player_num)

if player_num == rand_num: print (“ You win! My number was {}.”.format(rand_num)) print (“ It took you {} tries.”.format(len(guessed_nums))) break

else: if rand_num > player_num: print (“Nope! My number is higher than {}. Guess #{}.”.format(player_num, len(guessed_nums))

else:
    if rand_num < player_num:
        print (“Nope! My number is lower than {}. Guess #{}.”.format(player_num, len(guessed_nums)))
    continue

if not rand_num in guessed_nums: print (“Sorry! My number was {}.”.format(rand_num))

I actually just pasted the whole script in to the question but it's been split up with the weird code windows. I guess forum input doesn't like a whole script! If you can read all the text from top to bottom ignoring that some of it has been put into code windows, the whole script is there!

sorry , I wrote your program with simple changes same as if to elif and so on: import random

random_num = random.randint(1, 10) guessed_nums = [] allowed_guesses = 5

while len(guessed_nums) < allowed_guesses: guess = input("Guess a number between 1 and 10:") try: player_num = int(guess) except: print ("That’s not a whole number!") break if not player_num > 0 or not player_num < 11: print ("That’s too high a number!") break else: if player_num == random_num: print (" You win! My number was {}.".format(rand_num)) print (" It took you {} tries.".format(len(guessed_nums))) break elif random_num > player_num: print ("Nope! My number is higher than {}. Guess {}.".format(player_num, len(guessed_nums))) guessed_nums.append(player_num) continue else: print ("Nope! My number is lower than {}. Guess {}.".format(player_num, len(guessed_nums))) guessed_nums.append(player_num) continue #if not rand_num in guessed_nums: print (“Sorry! My number was {}.”.format(rand_num)) # understand the program then add other codes u need :good luck
