This is a very simple code... i need some help with it.
a=5 guess_a = int(input('enter an integer'))
if guess_a == a: print('success'.upper()) elif guess_a < a: print('failed..try again') else: print('failed..try again')
how can i make it keep running until the right integer is inputted?

use looping

guessed=False; #variable to indicate if correct guess has been made
a = 5; #sets correct guess
while not(guessed): #while loop condition to check if correct guess has been made
    guess = int(input('Enter an integer: ')) 
    if (guess==a):
        print('Success, well done.')
        guessed=True; #sets guessed to true to break the loop
    elif guess<a:
        print('Try a higher number.')
    else:
        print("Try a lower number." )

Hey.

Thanks..this worked fab. What if i wish to limit the number of attempts? To say maybe 5. Then the code stops executing...

Declare a counter value, and start incremental for each attempt
