Number Guessing Game in Python

 

Number Guessing Game in Python

This is a simple beginner mini project using:

• random module

• while loop

• if-elif-else conditions

• user input

The computer selects a random number, and the user tries to guess it.

---

Python Code

import random

# Computer chooses a random number between 1 and 10
secret_number = random.randint(1, 10)

print("Welcome to Number Guessing Game!")
print("Guess a number between 1 and 10")

while True:
    guess = int(input("Enter your guess: "))

    if guess == secret_number:
        print("Congratulations! You guessed the correct number.")
        break

    elif guess < secret_number:
        print("Too low! Try again.")

    else:
        print("Too high! Try again.")

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Import Random Module

import random

This helps Python generate random numbers.

---

2. Generate Random Number

secret_number = random.randint(1, 10)

This creates a random number between 1 and 10.

Example:

It may generate:

7

but the user cannot see it.

---

3. Display Instructions

print("Guess a number between 1 and 10")

This tells the player what to do.

---

4. Infinite Loop

while True:

This keeps asking until the correct answer is guessed.

---

5. User Input

guess = int(input("Enter your guess: "))

User enters a number.

---

6. Check Correct Guess

if guess == secret_number:

If correct → success message + loop stops.

---

7. Too Low

elif guess < secret_number:

If entered number is smaller.

---

8. Too High

else:

If entered number is greater.

---

Sample Output

Welcome to Number Guessing Game!
Guess a number between 1 and 10

Enter your guess: 4
Too low! Try again.

Enter your guess: 8
Too high! Try again.

Enter your guess: 6
Congratulations! You guessed the correct number.

Short Version

import random

n = random.randint(1, 10)

while True:
    g = int(input("Guess: "))

    if g == n:
        print("Correct!")
        break
    elif g < n:
        print("Low")
    else:
        print("High")
