Question

2. Create the program guessgame.py discussed in the video in module 1. Make sure you can run it without syntax errors.3. Modify that program so that the user is asked to think of a secret number and the computer guesses that number. Here is the interaction: 1. The computer asks the user for the range.2. The user inputs the lowest and highest numbers in the range. The USER thinks of a secret number in that range. 3. The computer tries to guess the secret number in as little attempts as possible.4. For each guess from the program, the user should enter either >, <, or =. > if the secret number is greater than the guess;< if the secret number is less than the guess; or= if the secret number is equal to the guess.5. With the above information, the computer adjusts the range and guesses again.

Answer 1

Here is the completed code for this problem. Comments are included, go through it, learn how things work and let me know if you have any doubts or if you need anything to change. If you are satisfied with the solution, please rate the answer. Thanks

Note: Please maintain proper code spacing (indentation), just copy the code part and paste it in your compiler/IDE directly, no modifications required.

#code

#main method
def main():
    #reading low and high values of the range. assuming low<=high
    low = int(input("Enter the lowest number in the range: "))
    high = int(input("Enter the highest number in the range: "))
    #displaying program description and instructions
    print('Think of a number between {} and {}. The computer will try to guess it'.format(low, high))
    print('Enter > if the secret number is greater than the guess')
    print('Enter < if the secret number is smaller than the guess')
    print('Enter = if the secret number is equal to the guess')
    print('Game is starting')
    
    #not found yet
    found = False
    #using the binary search algorithm.
    #looping as long as low<=high and number is not found
    while low <= high and not found:
        #finding middle value between low and high
        mid = (low + high) // 2
        #asking user if computer's guess is correct
        ch = input('Is the number {}? '.format(mid))
        #identifying user choice
        if ch == '=':
            #right
            print('Yay!')
            found = True #found
        elif ch == '<':
            #updating high, so that system will guess from range low to mid-1
            high = mid - 1
        elif ch == '>':
            #updating low , so that system will guess from range mid+1 to high
            low = mid + 1
    
    #after the loop if found is False, user lied, obviously
    if not found:
        print('You cheated!')
