Question

Hands-On Assignments are designed to foster independent thinking and problem solving programming skills. This activity is closely guided by the course instructor. Students are encourages to ask instructor any questions related to this challenge. Similar to the course Exercises, this activity also has a Base Code.

The initially given Base Code to Start with this exercise:

--------------Start----------------

guess.py   (also, see starters in the course FILES/StudentFiles/Exercise Starter Files)

--------------End ----------------

Prompt

Task to Accomplish

1. The Base Code implements “guessing” of one number. You need to add “OUTER” loop that allows “guessing” of 5 numbers of the lottery winning ticket.
2. Limit numbers of attempts for guessing one number to 10 for each of 5 numbers of the lottery.
3. Also, you will need to store all 5 randomly generated numbers in separate variables, and print out WINNING NUMBERS at the end, when user finishes guessing of the very last 5^th number.

Tips:

You will need to use “nested loops”

Answer 1

Here is the complete code for the following code, To make it simple i have taken a lottery number between 1 to 20, you change it to other values as well

Code:

import  random

#we are limiting the range from 1 to 20
#generating 5 random numbers between 1 to 20
lottery_number = random.sample(range(1, 20), 5)
chances_per_lottery = 10
guessing_num = 0

correct_guesses = []  #this list contain the correct numbers guess by user
correct_guesses_count = 0

#outer loop
for number in lottery_number:
    guessing_num = guessing_num + 1
    print("Guessing lottery: ", guessing_num)
    #inner loop
    while(chances_per_lottery > 0):
        print("Remaining chances left: ",  chances_per_lottery)
        num = input("Guess lottery number: ")
        if num == number:
            correct_guesses.append(num)
            correct_guesses_count = correct_guesses_count + 1
            print()
            break
        chances_per_lottery = chances_per_lottery - 1
        if chances_per_lottery == 0  and guessing_num != 5:
            print("Chances Over, Now try to guess the next number\n")
    chances_per_lottery = 10

print("Total correct guesses: ", correct_guesses_count)
print("Numbers are: ", correct_guesses)




Output:

Output:

I have set the guess count 2 but asked for 10 because i do not want very long output. However i have changed this value in code. So just copy and run it
