When you  run your script from the command line it not just terminates, it 
also prints an error message and important debug information (called 
"traceback") that helps you fix the code:

$ python3 guess_number_chiara.py 
Think of a number from 1 to 100, and I will try to guess it
press enter when ready...
63
right, too low, too high?too low
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "guess_number_chiara.py", line 17, in <module>
    number3 = random.randit (number,100)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'randit'

The problem is in line 17 and there's a module that doesn't have a randit 
attribute. The only module mentioned in the line is random which indeed does 
not contain a randit() function, the actual function is named randint().

So the bug turns out to be a misspelt function name.
