Mastermind Game in Python

Question

I have already looked at this thread Python Mastermind Game Troubles on your website but the question I am asking is slightly different as I have been given a different task

Answer 1

You just forgot to reset your numberswrong variable to zero :)

As a side note, to spot bugs, try to make your code simpler.

• Count the number of right numbers, instead of the number of wrong ones!
• Use lists instead of copy pasting code.
• Once you feel more confortable with loops, use python generators
• Use text formatting instead of string concatenation.
• Name your variables with names that make sense (avoid "c" when you can call it "num_tries")
• Comment!

It you try to apply all this advices, you final code should look like this:

from random import randint

# Init variable
numbers = [randint(1, 9) for _ in range(4)]
num_tries = 0
guesses = None

# Loop while numbers and guesses are not the same.
while numbers != guesses:
    # Ask user to guess the 4 values
    guesses = [
        int(input("guess the first number: ")),
        int(input("guess the second number: ")),
        int(input("guess the third number: ")),
        int(input("guess the fourth number: "))
    ]

    num_tries += 1

    # Display message with number of right numbers.
    num_right_numbers = len([1 for i in range(4) if numbers[i] == guesses[i]])
    print 'You got {0} numbers right.'.format(num_right_numbers)

# User won, print message and quit.
print 'Well Done!'
print 'It took you {0} tries to guess the number!'.format(num_tries)
