def number(number):
ran=input("range >")
ran=ran+1
from random import randrange
guessed=[]
guess=randrange(ran)
print guess
guessed.append(guess)
guesses=1
guessed=[] < Why do you reset guessed to an empty list
here?
also couldn't the whole chunk above be moved into the loop?
see below
while guess !=number:
guess=randrange(ran)
if guess not in guessed:
guessed.append(guess)
guesses=guesses+1
print guess
print"i got the number",number,"in",guesses,"guesses"
# keep imports outside functions.
from random import randrange
def number(number):
ran=input("range >") + 1
guessed=[]
guesses = 0 # need to initialise it first
guess=randrange(ran)
while guess != number:
if guess not in guessed:
guessed.append(guess)
guesses += 1
print guess
guess=randrange(ran)
print "i got the number",number,"in",guesses,"guesses"
You might also want to add a check to see if ran < number
Also I'm not sure why you don;t count duplicate guesses?
But that's your choice I suppose. However if you counted them
you can remove the list entirely
Does that help?
