Answer 1

You're very much correct Maz on needing to change lines 1-2 (surround both inputs with an int() function), no worries. Otherwise it simply compares the strings, not the value itself. ^^

The individual character comparison is done on the Unicode level from what I understand.

Here's your code again Author, I also added proper indentation.

p1 = int(input())
p2 = int(input())
if p1 > p2:
print("player 1 won the game")
else:
if p2 > p1:
print("player 2 won the game")
x = input("do you want a rematch? ")

print(x)
if x == "yes":
print("game will start shortly.")
if x == "no":
print("game over, see you next time. ")

Answer 2

I do not know how Python considers strings comparison, but you did not convert your input in numbers and Python manage them as normal strings (probably making a comparison with their ASCII values)

Replace your first two lines with:

p1=int(input())
p2=int(input())

... or this other one to manage float numbers:

p1=float(input())
p2=float(input())
