That's exactly what we need to see! The full traceback, thank you!

You're asking Python to get the variable "number", and call the randint
method. But:

- you don't have a variable called "number";

NameError: name 'number' is not defined


- and even if you did, that's not how you get a random number. What you want
is:

computer_number = random.randint(1, 100)
