Answer 1

By default, input returns a string. You need to convert your input to a numeric type, in this case integer.

Replace:

guess = input("Guess a number: ")

With:

guess = int(input("Guess a number: "))

You may also wish to validate user input to ensure that you have actually been provided with a valid integer. For this you should see Asking the user for input until they give a valid response.
