named </span><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'CMTT10'">print hints </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">that takes two arguments. The first is a secret num-
ber and is kept in a parameter named </span><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'CMTT10'">secret</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">. The second is a guess made
by the user and it is held in a parameter named </span><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'CMTT10'">guess</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">.
</span></p>
</li>
<li style="font-size: 10pt;"><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The user’s guess is supposed to be within the range 1 ... 100. Write a
conditional statement that checks if the guess is out of that range, and if
it is print ‘out of range’ in the body of the </span><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'CMTT10'">print hints </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">function.
</span></p>
</li>
<li style="font-size: 10pt;"><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Now we are going to give the user the option to make a second guess.
You must add code to the </span><span style="font-size: 10.000000pt; font-family: 'CMTT10'">main </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">function immediately after assignment
statement you wrote for task 7.
</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Write a conditional statement to check if the current guess does not match
the secret number. If the numbers to not match, in the body of the
conditional statement you will do two things.
