No matter what I do, it says the number is too high or too low. I try reworking it, and it always gives me an incorrect response.
Students usually make the same mistakes on this one.
First, you'll need to be sure you follow this hint in the instructions:
Note: The user should be able to enter a number with more than 2 decimal places and the program should check if that value rounded to 2 decimal places matches the number to guess to 2 decimal places.)
You do the above by rounding. If I have a value of 3.1456 and I want it rounded to two decimal places, I code it like this:
round(3.1456, 2)
Round is a built-in function in Python.
So for starters, make sure you are comparing the values AFTER you've rounded them!
Next, a lot of students run into a problem where the program gives them a type error. They know just what to do! So they make it a string. The problem with that is this: If it's comparing string values, it's comparing their length.
For example, if a user enters "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" as the value, it's going to say it's too high. That's because it's comparing the number of letters to the number of digits!
If you're rounding, that means it will compare the first two letters with the digits - it will almost definitely return "too low" every single time.
Instead, make sure you're turning the number into a float and comparing the floats!
