[Tutor] Guess the number

[Kewal Patel]

i don't know if this is efficient but i think it works just fine....


import random

# input a number from user

input_number = input("Enter a number")

#function defination

def guess_number(start,stop):
    global input_number
    try:
        g_number = random.randrange(start,stop)
        if g_number == input_number :
            print "The Input Number is : ",g_number
        else:
            print "guessed number is :",g_number
            reply = raw_input("Enter higher or lower")
            if reply == "lower":
                guess_number(start,g_number)
            else:
                guess_number(g_number,stop)
    except ValueError,(ex):
        print "you have entered wrong answer."

guess_number(1,100)
