What am I doing wrong? Python Number game challenge

It says there is invalid syntax on line 18( the break) and when I take that out it says there is invalid syntax on line 19(the else statement)

import random

secret_number = random.randint(0, 100)
guessed_nums = []
hint = print("Guess a number between 1 and 100")
question = input("What is your number? ")

try:
   player_num=int(question)
except:
  print("Thats not a whole number")
  break

  guessed_nums.append(player_num)

if secret_number == player_num:
  print("You win!It took you {} tries".format(guessed_nums)
else:
  if secret_number > new_int:
    print("Nope! My number is higher than {}. Guess #{}".format(player_num, len(guessed_nums)))
  else:
    print("Nope! My number is lower than {}. Guess #{}".format(player_num,  len(guessed_nums)))
  continue

Hi Arjun,

I went ahead and fixed your code formatting for you. See this thread: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/posting-code-to-the-forum

I don't see your loop but it looks like you meant to have one with the break and continue statements.

In your print statement right before that else: you don't have the closing parenthesis for the print function.
