• Find the median test greade of a class
• create a simple game using random numbers

scores = [89,78,69,93,98,100,97,85,89,90]
scores.sort()
n = len(scores)
if n % 2 == 1:
    median = scores[n//2]
else:
    mid1 = scores[n//2-1]
    mid2 = scores[n//2]
    median = (mid1 + mid2)/2

print(f"the median test score is:, {median}")

the median test score is:, 89.5

game using random numbers

import random

# Generate a random number between 1 and 100
secret_number = random.randint(1, 100)

# Number of attempts
attempts = 0

print("Welcome to the Number Guessing Game!")
print("I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.")

while True:
    try:
        # Get the player's guess
        guess = int(input("Enter your guess: "))
        attempts += 1

        # Check if the guess is correct
        if guess == secret_number:
            print(f"Congratulations! You've guessed the number {secret_number} in {attempts} attempts.")
            break
        elif guess < secret_number:
            print("Try a higher number.")
        else:
            print("Try a lower number.")

    except ValueError:
        print("Please enter a valid number.")

# End of the game
