Random number


The user will be asked to guess the random number. We first pick the random number:

from random import randint

x = randint(1,9)

The randint() function will pick a pseudo random number between 1 and 10. Then we have to continue until the correct number is found:

guess = -1

print("Guess the number below 10:")
while guess != x:
guess = int(raw_input("Guess: "))

if guess != x:
print("Wrong guess")
else:
print("Guessed correctly")

Python Guessing Game


The code below starts the game:

from random import randint

x = randint(1,9)
guess = -1

print "Guess the number below 10:"
while guess != x:
guess = int(raw_input("Guess: "))

if guess != x:
print("Wrong guess")
else:
print("Guessed correctly")

An example run:

Guess the number below 10:
Guess: 3
Wrong guess
Guess: 6
Wrong guess
..

How do you print a random float?

Frank Sat, 31 Oct 2015

Hi Nathan,

You can get a random float using the random.uniform() function.
Example program generating a float between 1.1 and 5.5:

import random

x = random.uniform(1.1,5.5)
print(x)
