Lesson 16 Quiz: Mini-Project: The Number-Guessing Game

1. What does `random.randint(1, 10)` do, and why must `import random` come first?

A. It picks a whole number from 1 to 10 at random; `import random` is only needed on Windows. B. It picks the same number every time; `import random` shuffles it first. C. It asks the player to type a number; `import random` checks the answer. D. It picks a whole number from 1 to 10 at random; `import random` loads the tool, without which Python does not know it.

2. What does `input()` give you, and why is `int()` needed on its answer?

A. Text typed by the player; `int()` converts it to a number so it can be compared with the secret. B. A number typed by the player; `int()` is needed to print it. C. Text typed by the player; `int()` converts it to a number so it can be printed. D. A random number; `int()` is needed to keep it secret.

3. What does `while True:` mean, and what stops such a loop?

A. "Repeat 10 times"; the loop ends after 10 guesses. B. "Repeat until the player types stop"; `input()` ends the loop. C. "Repeat forever"; `break` exits the loop when the player wins. D. "Repeat forever"; the loop never ends.

4. Why is `==` checked before the too-low and too-high cases?

A. So the game runs faster. B. So a correct guess wins at once instead of falling through to a hint. C. So the secret number stays hidden from the player. D. So too-low is checked before too-high.

5. The game uses no new concept except `random`, `input`, and `break` — what does that tell you about building programs?

A. That you need to learn a whole new language for each program you build. B. That games need advanced magic that beginners cannot learn. C. That `random`, `input`, and `break` are the only tools you will ever need. D. That programs are simple ideas stacked together, not advanced magic.
