Python Random Number Game defaults to wrong answer

-1

I'm trying to make a Simple Python program that asks the user to guess a number between 1 and ten and takes advantage of the randint function in python.
At first everything seemed great as it would for sure mark a wrong answer as wrong, but when I kept trying it to see the permutations it marked a right answer as wrong.

Here is the code:

import random



cont = True



while cont:

    var1 = random.randint(1, 10)

    #var1 = 6

    print("Pick a number between One and Ten")

    varans = input()

    #varans = 6

    if varans == var1:

        print("The right answer was...")

        print(var1)

        print("Your Answer was...")

        print(varans)

        print("You chose wisely. You win!")



    elif varans != var1:

        print("The right answer was...")

        print(var1)

        print("Your Answer was...")

        print(varans)

        print("Sorry, You lose!")



    print("Do you want to continue?")

    choice = input()

    choice = choice.lower()

    if choice != "y":

        cont = False

the commented parts were from when I was testing it to see if it was even evaluating anything. I hardcoded a Correct answer to see if that part would work. The odd thing is it did work but for some reason, I can't get it to work with the original code. I'm probably missing something simple. Any ideas?

Welcome to SO! You're comparing a string and an integer "6" == 6?. They'll never be equal. Use a cast int(input()).

Thanks a bunch! That did it! I knew it was something simple. I forgot about casting. I'm still very new to python so this helped a lot.

input will return a string. Therefore, it will never be equal to any int.

You can either convert your random integer to a string

var1 = str(random.randint(1, 10))

Or covert the user input from a string to an integer

varans = int(input())

And all should be well in the world.
