How do I loop a gamequestion script until it is answered correctly? (Python)

Question

from random import randint
x=(randint(0,9))
print "I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10."
y = raw_input("What is your number? (Integer from 1 to 10)")
if y<x:
    print "Too low!"
elif y>x:
    print "Too high!"
elif y==x:
    print "Spot On!"
    sys.exit()

How do I loop it so you have to keep guessing until you get the number?

You might want to investigate the while loop for that purpose. Please check the docs for details and check answers already in place for helpful code sniplets.

By using a `while` loop, I was able to make it work. Thanks! – mr skeltal Aug 13 '15 at 02:17

Just break when you get the correct number

from random import randint
x=(randint(0,10))
print "I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10."
while True:
    y = int(raw_input("What is your number? (Integer from 1 to 10)"))
    if y<x:
        print "Too low!"
        print "Let's try again"
    elif y>x:
        print "Too high!"
        print "Let's try again"
    elif y==x:
        print "Spot On!"
        break

Converted y to int and if you want to include 10 then you must iterate till 10 not 9 in randint function
