I am getting a syntax error as I try to run my little "Guess the number"-game, as directly copied from http://inventwithpython.com/chapter4.html. The error reads:
File "guess.py", line 12
while guessesTaken < 6:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
The source code reads:
I am running Python 3.3 on Windows 7, and have tried both running the program from IDLE and Command.
File "guess.py", line 12
while guessesTaken < 6:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
The source code reads:
Code:
# This is a guess the number game.
import random
guessesTaken = 0
print('Hello! What is your name?')
myName = input()
number = random.randint(1, 20)
print('Well, ' + myName + ', I am thinking of a number between 1 and 20.'
while guessesTaken < 6:
print('Take a guess.')
guess = input()
guess = int(guess)
guessesTaken = guessesTaken + 1
if guess < number:
print('Your guess is too low.')
if guess > number:
print('Your guess is too high.')
if guess == number:
break
if guess == number:
guessesTaken = str(guessesTaken)
print('Good job, ' + myNamen + '! You guessed my number in ' + guessesTaken + ' guesses!')
if guess != number:
number = str(number)
print('Nope. The number I was thinking of was ' + number)
