I'm a seventh grade programmer so I may be missing a lot of things in this program, but for my coding club my instructor asked us to make a guess the number game. I have very limited knowledge on this subject, since I've only attended four classes. Anyway, when I run this program in Python IDLE 3.5 this is what it says:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\morrris\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\guess_that_number.py", line 7, in <module> name= raw_input() NameError: name 'raw_input' is not defined

I tried changing the code, but it seems to not like the raw_input().

    Python 3.5 doesn't have raw_input. It has input() Commented Feb 3, 2016 at 4:27

    In the future, when you post code, try to post the minimum needed to exhibit the symptom you are asking about. In this case, name= raw_input() is quite sufficient. See stackoverflow.com/help/mcve Commented Feb 3, 2016 at 14:53

For Python 3.x, use input(). For Python 2.x, use raw_input(). Don't forget you can add a prompt string in your input() call to create one less print statement. input("GUESS THAT NUMBER!").
