python - Number guessing game: How can I accept input that says "guess =" before the number? -

import random guess = input("what guess?") answer = random.randint(0,100)  while guess != answer:     try:         guess = float(guess)         if guess > answer:             print ("your guess high!")         elif guess < answer:             print ("your guess low!")         elif guess == answer:             print ("congratulations!")             break         guess = input("what guess?")         continue     except valueerror:         print ("bad input. try again!")         guess = input("what guess?") 

so code works except when enter example: guess = 30, seems input invalid...how can make accepts correct guess?

new python here :) thanks.

i copied , pasted code python 3.5, and....apart needing indent after while statement worked fine.

are inputting number: 30

...or "guess = 30"? because cause problem since it's not number. need input number. :)

if want accept "guess = 30" then:

import random import re ###<-add  guess = input("what guess?") answer = random.randint(0,100)  while guess != answer:     try:         guess = re.sub("[^0-9]", "", guess) ###<- add         guess = float(guess)         if guess > answer:             print ("your guess high!")         elif guess < answer:             print ("your guess low!")         elif guess == answer:             print ("congratulations!")             break         guess = input("what guess?")         continue     except valueerror:         print ("bad input. try again!")         guess = input("what guess?") 

these 2 lines use regular expressions strip input of non numeric characters before processing.
