CHALLENGE 5 | NUMBER GUESSING GAME

Create a program to do the following:
1: Generate a random number or use the two lines of code below to generate a random number, firstly to import random, secondly to produce a random number and save it in a variable called 'num'.

#FOR PYTHON CODERS
import random
num = random.randint(1,20)

2: Ask the user to guess a number.
3: IF the user guesses too high then output 'You guess too high, please guess again'.
4: IF the user guesses too low then output 'You guess too low, please guess again'.
5: IF the user guesses correct then output 'You guess correct, well done!'.

EXAMPLE OUTPUT
Please guess a number between 1 and 20: 14
You guess too low, please guess again: 18
You guess too high, please guess again: 15
You guess correct, well done!

EXTENSION TASK
A: Add a loop to your program so it gives the user 3 changes to guess the correct number.
B: Add a scoring system to your program.

NEED MORE HELP WITH THIS TASK ?
This video talks you through completing the challenge in Python language. It also take you through adding a loop to allow the user to guess many times and keeps a score.

CHALLENGE 6 | PARCEL DELIVERY

Create a program to calculate the cost of parcel delivery by doing the following:
1: Ask the user to enter the weight of the parcel in kg.
2: Ask the user to enter the height of the parcel in cm.
3: Ask the user to enter the width of the parcel in cm.
4: Ask the user to enter the length of the parcel in cm.
5: IF the height + width + length are greater than 200cm then output ' This parcel is too big, it has been rejected'.
6: IF the parcel is less than 5kg then the cost of delivery is $10.00
7: For every additional 5kg the parcel weighs add an extra $7.00 to the price
(assign the next price increase when the parcel reaches the next weight increment, 10, 15, 20 etc)
8: Output the total cost of delivery in a user friendly sentence.

EXAMPLE OUTPUT
Please enter the weight of the parcel in kg: 12
Please enter the height of the parcel in cm: 50
Please enter the width of the parcel in cm: 40
Please enter the length of the parcel in cm: 60
The total cost of sending your parcel is: $24.00
