Thank you! This is such an old project hahahaha. @WilliamTheProgrammer

@microwither: Thank you!

Might need a try/catch or an error exception if the number is too large.

@loganwright: Thank you, but for now do not put any value higher than 10.

@loganwright: I think I fixed it.

@fullern000: I still get the IndexError.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "python", line 50, in <module>
File "python", line 18, in getSecretNum
IndexError: list index out of range

A good solution might be this: but the error also might be coming from getSecretNum

def digits():
try:
print('*****BAGELS DEDUCTION***** (A number guessing game.)')
print('How many digits?')
NUM_DIGITS = input()
NUM_DIGITS = int(NUM_DIGITS)
return NUM_DIGITS
except IndexError:
print('You have entered an error that is out of range. Please enter a smaller number.")

It also looks like it might be throwing the error in getSecretNum when it converts to int, then string, then back to int.

I also broke it by entering a negative number. It's not really necessary that you catch the error. But senior developers and employers will be really impressed by defensive programming.

@loganwright: Man, you try to find everything.

@fullern000: Not exactly. Anytime you're dealing with user input, they'll break it. I didn't break it on purpose the first time. But if I were a professor, I would be so impressed if you programmed defensively. The logic is good. Have you studied or looked into Errors and Exceptions?

@loganwright: Ok. I fixed it, also you can't enter numbers like this: ten
You have to right it as 10.

@fullern000: Right on dude! Good defensive programming. If I were a professor, I'd be super impressed!
