Let's look at how we tackle a real programming concept using Python. Imagine you want to build a simple game where the computer picks a secret number and you have to guess it. Here is the mental model of how the code thinks: a secret number in a variable. Ask the user for a guess. Compare the guess to the secret number. Loop until the user gets it right. ⌨️ The Code Broken Down Get the user's guess guess = int(input("Take a
Look at the code above. What would happen if we forgot to include the int() function around the input() on line 12?
