while loop end but game() wont start again

import random

secret_number = random.randint(1, 20)
guesses = []

def game():
    while len(guesses) < 5:
        print(secret_number)
        print(guesses)
        try:
            guess = int(input("Guess Number Between 1 to 20: "))
        except ValueError:
            print("Please enter only number...")
            continue
        else:
            if guess == secret_number:
                print("Well done you got it...")
                break
            elif guess > secret_number:
                print("number little higher")
            elif guess < secret_number:
                print("number little lower")
            guesses.append(guess)


    else:
        print(guesses)
        play_again = input("do you wanna play agan Y/n: ")
        if play_again.lower() != 'n':
            game()

        else:
            print("bye bye")
game()

in the end yes or no is not working

Could you please format your code with "" (look in the Markdwon Cheatsheet) The lines before the "" must be free it is a pain to format Python code :)

Hi syalih

If you put the guesses list inside the function game it will work.

import random

secret_number = random.randint(1, 20)


def game():
    guesses = [] # set guesses here 
    while len(guesses) < 5:
        print(secret_number)
        print(guesses)
        try:
            guess = int(input("Guess Number Between 1 to 20: "))
        except ValueError:
            print("Please enter only number...")
            continue
        else:
            if guess == secret_number:
                print("Well done you got it...")
                break
            elif guess > secret_number:
                print("number little higher")
            elif guess < secret_number:
                print("number little lower")
            guesses.append(guess)


    else:
        print(guesses)
        play_again = input("do you wanna play agan Y/n: ")
        if play_again.lower() != 'n':
            # when you call the function game() length of guesses is still 5 so the else statement gets executed
           game()

        else:
            print("bye bye")
game()
