Here is my code:

name = input("What is your name? ")
print name + " do you want to play a game?"
answer = input("To play the game, type either yes or no. ")
if answer == yes:
    print "Great," + name + "lets get started!"
elif answer == no:
    print "Okay, good bye!"

import random

number = random.randint(1,50)
guess = input ("Pick a number between 1 and 50. This number cannot be a decimal. ")
if guess > number:
    print "Your guess is too high!"
elif guess < number:
    print "Your guess is too low!"
while guess != number:
    print "Try again!"
else import random
    number = random.randint(1,50)
if guess == number:
    print "You guessed it!"
    print "Great job."
print "Do you want to play again?"

while answer == yes:
    import random

    number = random.randint(1,50)
    guess = input ("Pick a number between 1 and 50. This number cannot be a decimal. ")
    if guess > number:
        print "Your guess is too high!"
    elif guess < number:
        print "Your guess is too low!"
    while guess != number:
        print "Try again!"
    if guess == number:
        print "You guessed it!"
        print "Great job."
    print "Do you want to play again?
elif answer == no:
    print "Okay. Good game " + name + "!"
    print "Play again soon!"

Ok, my first question is why does python not recognize input for the name variable as a string.

The second question is the last elif statement keeps giving me a syntax error. I am not sure why.

The last question is can I loop this code any easier way?

Answer 1

In Python 2x versions, input() takes variable as integer, you could use raw_input() to take it as string.

So basically change your input() to raw_input() for taking the data as string.

In Python 3x versions there is no raw_input, there is only input() and it takes the data as string.

Second question;

elif guess < number:

    print "Your guess is too low!"

while guess != number:

    print "Try again!"

else import random

    number = random.randint(1,50)

This is not a correct syntax, your else needs an if block above itself. You can't use else without an if block.If you think for a second, that makes sense.

Your last question is not fit with SO rules.
