Example text
It is also a convention to never use two different variables with the same name but different capitalization. If you use the variable favoriteFOOD to store the string of your favorite breakfast food and the variable FAVORITEfood to store your favorite dinner food, it is easy to forget which is which. You don't always have to finish typing in a program before you run it. You can just have some of the code complete, and then run it just to see how the program behaves. Programmers will often type some code, run the program, type some more code, run the program again, and so on in order to make sure the code is coming along the way they like.
Otherwise, we keep looping. But when guessesTaken has the number 6 stored, the while statement's condition is False. (6 is not less than 6, rather 6 is equal to 6) Because the while statement's condition is False, we will not enter the loop and instead jump to the end of the while-block. 28. if guess == number: This line of code isn't the same line in line 25. This line has no indentation, and is outside the whileblock. When we got out of the while block, it was either because the while statement's condition was False (which happens if the player ran out of guesses) or if we executed the break statement (which happens if the player guessed the number right).
25. if guess == number: We check if guess (the integer 6) is equal to number (the integer 8). It is not, so this condition is False and we skip the if-block. We have reached the end of the while-block, so we jump back to line 12. 12. while guessesTaken < 6: This time when we check the condition, guessesTaken has the value 3. But 3 is still less than 6, so the condition is True and we enter the while-block again. 13. ' # There are four spaces in front of print. We ask the player to type in a number again.
