Hi!

I'm new to programming and I just started to learn Python. So far I've only been able to make an extremely simple calculator with Python :D. I'm wanting to learn either Java or C++ after I'm comfortable with Python.

Welcome! Sounds like a good plan. :)

Welcome aboard! Sounds like a good plan.

Welcome.
I started with Python too!
Going to C++ or Java is great from Python, but....
You should really learn Python first.
If you are going to go to C++ or Java really learn classes!:)

As you guys can see I'm a huge procrastinator...

I had to go back to school so I stopped learning Python but I started again yesterday and I've gotten farther than I ever have (which isn't that far). I'm trying to do the beginner projects on here as I learn.

It sadly took me around an hour to make and fix a simple number guessing game but I also did a little more than it asked for. This is what I came up with:

#!/usr/bin/python3


import random


on = "yes"

min = 1

max = 10


while on == "yes":

	game = "yes"

	randnum = random.randint(min, max)


	while game == "yes":						#Loops game until on = no

		guess = int(input("Guess a number between 1 and 10: "))

	

		if guess == randnum:

			print("You won!")	

			on = str(input("Play again? (yes/no): "))

			while on != "yes" and on != "no":		#yes/no restriction

				on = str(input("Play again? (yes/no): "))

			game = "no"

		elif guess < randnum:

			if guess >= randnum-2:

				print("A little higher!")

			else:

				print("Higher")

		elif guess > randnum:

			if guess <= randnum+2:

				print("A little lower!")

			else:

				print("Lower")

I'm really hoping I don't procrastinate again so I can finally get better at using Python.

Welcome back Shadow21, your script looks pretty well defined, good job.

Thanks and I'm glad my script looks fine. :)

I've gotten farther than I ever have with Python so I'm sure I'll stick with it. I'll probably start on a sentence generator script in a day or two.
