[Tutor] Random number generation

[Nick Lunt]

Hi Kevin,

with the minimal info you've supplied its not easy to be sure what you want.

Hows this look

[code]

from random import randrange

rand = randrange(1, 1000)
ans = raw_input('Enter an int from 1 to 1000: ')

if int(ans) == rand:
    print 'well done!'
else:
    print 'unlucky!'

[/code]

This will need to some error trapping in case the user enters a letter for
example, also a while loop would be handy so the user has more than one
guess ;)

This might help http://docs.python.org/tut/node6.html

Hope that helps
Nick.

I am trying to make a simple number guessing game. The only thing that I
can't figure out so far is how to get the program to pick a random number?

Thanks

Kevin
