Hi, this is my first post. Ive made a number game which is written in python 2.5 and have some problems with it:

-------------------------------------

import random

# You've got to guess 4 numbers between 0 and 30, if you one right the program will output "WINNER" and tell you the computer's numbers

x = random.randint(0,30)
y = random.randint(0,30)
z = random.randint(0,30)
t = random.randint(0,30)


print "Enter 4 numbers between 0 and 30"
if raw_input() == x:
print "WINNER"
elif raw_input() != x:
print "LOSER"

print "The Computer's Numbers Were:"
print x,y,z,"and",t

-----------------------------------------------

I basically want to be able to enter 4 numbers, each separated by a space, and have the computer compare the inputted numbers to its numbers, if a number is right, the program will print WINNER or LOSER and then show the computers numbers. Im halfway there I just need a little extra help

Thanks,

I'll be honest with you I've never written in Python, but you could do something like:

If raw_input() == x or raw_input() == y or raw_input() == z or raw_input() == t:
print "WINNER"
else
print "Loser"

print "The Computer's Numbers Were:"
print x,y,z,"and",t

I don't know enough about python to know how to parse the 4 numbers from a raw input, but I would almost recommend you request the "user" to enter one number at a time, then just simply store off the raw input as different variables each.

I hope that helps

Just to give a rough idea ...

import random

x = random.randint(0,30)
y = random.randint(0,30)
z = random.randint(0,30)
t = random.randint(0,30)

list1 = [x, y, z, t]
print "Enter 4 numbers between 0 and 30:"
for k in range(1, 5):
    prompt = str(k) + " --> "
    choice = int(raw_input(prompt))
    if choice in list1:
        print "WINNER"
        break
# this else goes with the for loop
else:
    print "LOSER"

print "The Computer's Numbers Were:"
print x, y, z, "and", t

And if you are using a list, then the individual variable for each random number isn't necessary.

computer_list = []
for j in range(0, 4):
   computer_list.append(random.randint(0, 30))
print "The computer's numbers are", computer_list
#
#
#    To enter all 4 numbers on one line, use the split method
numbers = raw_input("Enter 4 numbers between 0-30 separated by a space ")
numbers_list = numbers.split()
if len(numbers_list) != 4:
   print "4 numbers were not entered"
else:
   lit = "Loser"
   for number in numbers_list:
      if int(number) in computer_list:
         lit = "You found number " + number
   print lit

Thank you so much, all of your replies have helped so much, now the program actually works properly. This community is fantastic!

Thanks,

Laurence

The program works well but there is one small flaw: when you enter a winning number, it prints winner and shows you the computers numbers instead of letting you enter all of your numbers:

I want the program to wait until all the numbers have been entered before it tells you wheather you are a winner or a loser:
