Knowing how to write, compile and execute code is a skill you’ll need throughout your professional career. In this course, you’ve learned how to create software programs using standard coding structures and processes such as variables, constants, operators, decision logic, arrays, iteration constructs, and functions. For this assignment, you will write an application using the Python programming language. Write a program that uses the random module to play Guess the Number game. The program should consist of three functions. The first will display the Title and program specifications. The second plays the game. The main function calls those functions as it controls the playing of the game. The Python program should be developed in three steps and each step builds off the code from the previous step, which is listed below. Note: be sure to leave comments in your code that explain the intention of your functions.
Prompt
1. Create a Python project in IDLE and begin the Project Program by developing a Python Function called display title() to display the title and programming specifications for the project.
2. Expand the Project Program and create a function called play game() that uses the randint() function that gets the number that the player has to guess. It then returns a random number between 1 and 10. Use a while statement so the user can guess the number until the guess is correct. If the users guess is lower than the random number then display the message ‘Too low’. If the user guess is higher than the random number then display the message ‘Too high’. If the user guess matches the random number display the message, ‘You guessed it ‘. Then, a return statement returns to the statement in the main() function that is after the call to the play game() function.
3. Expand the Project Program and create main() function to the function call statements. Call the display title() function. Then define a variable that will hold the value of yes. Create a loop that will check the variable, while the variable equals yes then call the play game function. Then allow the user to input if they want to play again. If yes, play again, if no end the program.

Before You Submit
When you complete your assignment, we suggest taking some time to check for any errors or to add any finishing touches. We also suggest that you use online plagiarism checkers such as PlagScan or DupliChecker to make sure that your assignment is not too similar to any existing materials. Plagiarized submissions will NOT be graded.
How to Submit Your Assignment
When you are ready to submit your assignment, please fill out the submission form and attach your assignment as a Python file (.py). You should receive your assignment grade within one week.
Do NOT submit your assignment as a PDF. The PDF format will remove the spacing/indentation from your program’s code, which will make us able to grade it properly.
