Answer to Question #205224 in Python for LEROY

Question

# Looks great! # . I would come up with a better name for d

# test if the user wants to quit... 

# Is not quite right... Change this print('I thought of another number, try again')
#   to something more like "Not Quite, Please try again"



from random import randint




play = input('You want to start? y/n ')

def play_game():
    # Put the rules here
    # While loop goes here
    d = randint(7, 50)
    computer_num = randint(1, d)
    lives = d // 2
    while lives > 0:
        try:
            num = int(input(f'enter number from 1 to {d}, you have {lives} attempts left '))
            if num > d or num < 1:
                raise ValueError
        except:
            print('incorrect input, try again')
            continue
        if num == computer_num:
            print(f'you won, I thought number {computer_num}')
            return None
        else:
            lives -= 1
            if lives > 0:
                print('I thought of another number, try again')
    print(f'you lost, I thought number {computer_num}')

play = input('You want to start the game[y/n]: ')
while play.lower() == 'y':
    play_game()
    play = input('You want to play again? y/n ')
