Number guessing game
This beginner Python project is a fun game that generates a
random number (in a certain range) that the user must guess
after receiving hints. For each wrong guess the user makes,
they receive extra hints but at the cost of reducing their final
score . This program is a great way to experiment with the
Python standard library, as it uses the Python random
module to generate random numbers. You can also get some
hands-on practice with conditional statements, print
formatting, user-defined functions, and various Python
operators.
