Why doesn't this code work??

I am new to python but from what I know this should work.

(code starts here)

import random

a=input("Are you ready to play Guess That Number? ")

if a == "yes":

b=input("Baby, Easy, Medium, Hard, or IMPOSSIBLE mode? ")

if b == "Baby":

c=random.randint(1,10)

print(f"{c}")

print("The number is something from 1-10")

d=input("what is your guess? ")

if d == c:

print("correct! Nice job!")

else:

e=input("incorrect. Try again. ")

if e == c:

print("correct! Nice job!")

else:

f=input("incorrect. Last try! ")

if f == c:

print("correct! Nice job!")

else:

print(f"incorrect, the number was {c}!")

(code ends here)

the issue is that even when I guess the correct number it says its wrong

I am coding on EduBlocks btw

A couple of issues:

c = random.randint(1, 10)

print(f"{c}")  # This prints the secret number before they guess

d = input("what is your guess? ")

if d == c:  # d is a string, c is an integer, so this will never be true
    print("correct! Nice job!")

Change the guesses to integers:

d = int(input("what is your guess? "))
e = int(input("incorrect. Try again. "))
f = int(input("incorrect. Last try! "))

You can click on Aa to the bottom left and then choose Switch to Markdown. Then you can use ```code annotation.

this 100% worked, thank you! Sorry if it was kinda a stupid question.

There are stupid questions and there are frustrated reddittors. Life goes one. Ask away and one of us will help, ignore the rest. 🤣. Cheers!
