Thank you for the clarification.

Hi, and welcome to the tutor list.

Please try to provide a useful subject line in future posts (not "help",
perhaps something like "I don't understand this TypeError message").

Anyway, to your question:

Please always include the entire error message with a text cut/paste; it
usually contains lots of useful information.

The error above means that you have a "int" and a "str", and are trying to
compare them. That is not supported.

the code in short

Please always incode the full code, ideally something stripped down to the
smallest program you can run which still produces the error. Often problems
come from something which is omitted in a "from memory" description of the
code, rather than the raw code itself.

As remarked, you can't compare an int and a str; it is not meaningful.

Your code above _should_ have an int in the value of "guess". However, I
suspect your code actually may look like this:

 number=random.randint(1,20)
 guess=input()
 guess_value=int(guess)
 if guess<number:

and theat you should have "guess_value" in the "if" condition, not "guess".

i.e. I'm suggesting that you haven't put the int into "guess" but into some
other variable.
