Question

odify the guessing-game program so that the user thinks of a number that the computer must guess.

  • The computer must make no more than the minimum number of guesses, and it must prevent the user from cheating by entering misleading hints.
  • Use I'm out of guesses, and you cheated and Hooray, I've got it in X tries as your final output.

(Hint: Use the math.log function to compute the minimum number of guesses needed after the lower and upper bounds are entered.)

this is what I got so far:

============================================

import random
import math

smaller = int(input("Enter the smaller number: "))
larger = int(input("Enter the larger number: "))
maxattempt = math.ceil(math.log(larger - smaller))

count = 0

while count != maxattempt:
    count += 1
    guess = int((smaller + larger) / 2)
    print(smaller, larger)
    print("Your number is: ", guess)
    hlp = input("Enter =, <, or >: ")
    if hlp == '>':
        smaller = guess + 1
    elif hlp == '<':
        larger = guess - 1
    elif hlp == '=':
        print("Hooray, I've got it in", count, "tries!")
        break

else: 
    print("I'm out of guesses, and you cheated")
============================================
 
but for the test case  0-25, when 11 is picked I get an error. unexpected output "I'm out of guesses, and you cheated". I'm not sure what the issue is here.
