In Python, I need help with this assignment: Modify the Guess My Number Chapter

Question

In Python, I need help with this assignment:

Modify the Guess My Number Chapter Project from Chapter 3 by reusing the function ask_number() from the Tic-Tac-Toe Chapter Project from this chapter. Replace the code in Guess My Number that asks the player for a guess with a call to ask_number( ).

Here is the original Guess My Number game:

import random

guessesTaken = 0

print("Hello what is your name?")
name = input()

number = random.randint(1,20)
print("Well",name,",I am thinking of a number between 1 and 20.")

while guessesTaken < 6:
    print("Take a guess")
    guess = input()
    guess = int(guess)

    guessesTaken = guessesTaken + 1

    if guess < number:
        print("your guess is to low")

    if guess > number:
        print("Your guess is to high")
    if guess == number:
        break

if guess == number:
    guessesTaken = str(guessesTaken)
    print("Good job",name,"You guessed my number in",guessesTaken,"guesses!")

if guess != number:
    number = str(number)
    print("Nope, the number I was thinking of was",number)

Here is the ask_number function:

This function asks for a number within a range. It receives a question, a low number, and a high number. It returns a number within the range specified.

def ask_number( question, low, high):

""" Ask for a number within a range."""

response = None

while response not in range( low, high):

     response = int( input( question))

return response

Explanation / Answer

import random

def ask_number( question, low, high):
   """ Ask for a number within a range."""
   response = None
   while response not in range( low, high):
       response = int( input( question))
   return response

guessesTaken = 0

print("Hello what is your name?")
name = input()

number = random.randint(1,20)
print("Well",name,",I am thinking of a number between 1 and 20.")

while guessesTaken < 6:
    guess = ask_number("Take a guess: ", 1, 20)

    guessesTaken = guessesTaken + 1

    if guess < number:
        print("your guess is to low")

    if guess > number:
        print("Your guess is to high")
    if guess == number:
        break

if guess == number:
    guessesTaken = str(guessesTaken)
    print("Good job",name,"You guessed my number in",guessesTaken,"guesses!")

if guess != number:
    number = str(number)
    print("Nope, the number I was thinking of was",number)
