I have a problem 2

Question

I am having a new problem with my code:

# Number Guessing Game
from random import randint
print ("Number Guessing Game")
score = 0
number = randint (1, 5)
print ("Enter a number from 1 to 5")
ans = input
if ans = number:
print ("Correct")
score = score + 1
else:
print ("You lost")
print ("Try again, if you want")

The part that I am having a problem with is this part: "if ans = number:" (It wants me to take away the = sign, but will this ruin the code?

Answer 1

mistake #1:
= is used to assign value
while == is used to compare value...
ans == number
compares the two values

mistake #2:
ans = input is wrong it should be
ans = input()

Answer 2

You should write
if ans == number:

Answer 3

"==" is for comparing (is A equal to B), and "=" is for assignment(A=5 ,means that variable A now have value 5). Hope that this will help you!
