Number Guessing Game Part 1

This assignment is closely related to Chapter 5 – Question 7, and deals with what is known as the number guessing game. This is the simple game where one party secretly selects a number from some interval (for example 1 to 10) and the second party tries to guess what number it is. The file NumberGuessingGame.py presents a complete and valid Python module, containing a method named NumberGuessing that allows its user to play the number guessing game. Use this module and method to play the game enough times so you are familiar with its operation.

Modifying the Program

Although this given source program plays the game well enough, the following change is desired. As your work for this assignment you are to modify this given Python source program (and rename it as NumberGuessingGameR.py) so that it informs the user of invalid guesses and does not count them as tries. An invalid guess would be any number outside of the defined interval. Be sure to thoroughly test your modified source program.

Guessing Game

Additional and Optional:

Since it would be reasonable to consider a repeated guess to be an invalid guess, further modify the program so that it likewise informs the user of such guesses and does not count them as tries.

Submission

You are to submit 2 files:

The Source Code, NumberGuessingGameR.py
A Word Document with screenshots of the working revisions and explanation of those revisions.

If you run into any issues, please describe them, what you tried to do to fix them, and why they didn’t work.
