[Tutor] While Loop Help

[James Chapman]

While Alan has given you a far better solution, I feel someone should
mention the break statement as you will likely come across it a lot, and it
is quite an important flow control statement.

You could add a break statement to the else which would break out of the
while loop.

Refactored to include a break

--------------------------------------------------

...

the_number = random.randint(1, 100)
win = false
tries = 0
guess = int(input("Take a guess: "))

while tries < 10:
    guess = int(input("Take a guess: "))
    tries += 1
    if guess > the_number:
        print("Lower...")
    elif guess < the_number:
        print("Higher...")
    else:
        win = true
        break

if win:
    print("You win")
else:
    print("You fail! The number was {0}".format(the_number))

input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit.")
