Ok, I see.  So, I think I got a good portion of this done thanks to you guys and understanding the directions a little better.  I’ll post my code.  For some reason I’m not sure what the user_guess variable in the get_guess is actually doing, or if it’s even an appropriate variable name??  Also, I’m going to bold another part I’m struggling with about the number being out of range, I’m not sure I’m going in the right direction with that, mainly because it does not work.  Here is what I have so far…


from random import randrange
randrange(1, 101)
from random import seed
seed(129)
    
def print_description():
    print """Welcome to Guess the Number.
    I have seleted a secret number in the range 1 ... 100.
    You must guess the number within 10 tries.
    I will tell you if you ar high or low, and
    I will tell you if you are hot or cold.\n""" 

def get_guess(guess_number):
    promt = "(" + str(guess_number) +") Please enter a guess:"
    user_guess = raw_input(promt)
    user_guess = int(user_guess)
    return user_guess

def print_hints(secrets, guess):
    if guess < 0 or guess> 101:
        print "Out of range!"

def main():
    print_description()
    secret = randrange(1,101)
    current_guess = get_guess(1)

    if secret == current_guess:
        print "Congratulations, you win!"
    else:
        print "Please play again"
    print "The secret number was", secret        
        
    

main()
print_hints()
