[python] I can't make my {i} count in my code .Please give me some solution.

Question

import random
number = random.randint(1,2)

print("Here's the question\nI'm looking for a number from 1 to 2 ")
guess_num = int(input("Enter a number :"))
def guessing_func(guess_num):

i = 0
while guess_num != number :

if guess_num < number :
print("guess higher ")
guess_num = int(input("Try again :"))
i+=1
return guessing_func(guess_num)

elif guess_num > number :
print("guess lower ")
guess_num = int(input("Try again :"))
i+=1
return guessing_func(guess_num)

elif guess_num == number :
i += 1
break
print("You got it ,the number is {0} . \nYou have tried {1} times".format(number , i ))

guessing_func(guess_num)

Answer 1

Your code is correct, unfortunately CodePlayground does not support the interactivity that you created. CodePlayground wants all inputs at the beginning of the program.

Answer 2

If the number is right, you don't enter the loop so your i is 0. If you do enter the loop, you recurse and don't enter that loop.
