Hi Jim,
Here is how to do it via interval bisection using mostly your code:
# comp_guess.py
# Simulate the computer guessing a number between 1 and 100 until it guesses
correctly.
lower = 1
upper = 100
guesses = 0
answer = int(raw_input("Give me a number between 1 and 100 for the computer to
guess: "))
print "\nThe answer is %d." % (answer)
while True:
comp_guess = (lower + upper)/2 # The computer makes a guess
guesses += 1
print "For guess %d, the computer guessed %d." % (guesses, comp_guess)
if comp_guess == answer:
break
elif comp_guess < answer:
print "The computer guessed too low."
lower = comp_guess +1 # So it won't guess the same number again.
print "lower is now %d." % (lower)
else:
print "The guess is too high."
upper = comp_guess -1 # So it won't guess the number again.
print "upper is now %d." % (upper)
print "The computer guessed the number in %d guesses" % (guesses)
print "Can you beat that?"
raw_input("Press Enter to quit")
