Why is my code not working(Updated)

Question

import random

defnumber_guessing_game():
print("Welcome to the Number Guessing Game!")
number_to_guess = random.randint(1, 100)
attempts = 0

while True:
try:
guess = int(input("Guess a number between 1 and 100: "))
attempts += 1

if guess < number_to_guess:
print("Too low! Try again.")
elif guess > number_to_guess:
print("Too high! Try again.")
else:
print(f"🎉 Correct! The number was {number_to_guess}.")
print(f"You guessed it in {attempts} attempts.")
break
except ValueError:
print("Please enter a valid number.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
number_guessing_game()

Answer 1

Woah, you are really good at Python! I tested the game and it's interesting!

The error is due to a small typo in the 3rd line:

defnumber_guessing_game():

You forgot to add a space " " between "def" and "number_guessing_game():". Just make it:

def number_guessing_game():

And it's all done!

Additional Suggestion:
Your code uses and Infinite loop, and if the user fails to guess the number, it throws an EOFError because it again expects the user to input something. For this, you can add another except block for ending the program if the user fails to guess the number:

except EOFError:
print("Looks you gave up. Well, the number was " + str(number_to_guess))

And it's all done 🎉

Additionally for Sololearn playground, as it asks for all inputs at once, you can add a "\n" to the input statements.

Here's the corrected version for you:

Answer 2

maybe put a space between def and the function name.

def number_guessing_game():

also, these type of looping input does not work in Sololearn. all inputs have to be given at the input box before the program runs, so you can't see the hints in between, too.

Thank you🤩!
