import random

print("Hi! Welcome to the Number Guessing Game.\nYou have 7 chances to guess the number. Let's start!")

low = int(input("Enter the Lower Bound: "))
high = int(input("Enter the Upper Bound: "))

print(f"\nYou have 7 chances to guess the number between {low} and {high}. Let's start!")

num = random.randint(low, high)
chances = 7 # Total allowed chances
guesses = 0 # Guess counter

while guesses < chances:
   guesses += 1
   guess = int(input('Enter your guess: '))

   if guess == num:
       print(f'Correct! The number is {num}. You guessed it in {guesses} attempts.')
       break

   elif guesses >= chances and guess != num:
       print(f'Sorry! The number was {num}. Better luck next time.')

   elif guess > num:
       print('Too high! Try a lower number.')

   elif guess < num:
       print('Too low! Try a higher number.')

Explanation: This Python script implements a number guessing game using basic control structures. It uses random.randrange(100) to generate a target number between 0 and 99. The user is given 7 attempts to guess the number. A while loop handles repeated input, and conditional statements (if-elif) evaluate each guess—providing feedback on whether it’s too high, too low, or correct. If the guess matches, the loop breaks; otherwise, the game ends after 7 tries, displaying the correct number.
