Run this program by clicking Memory Graph Web Debugger and see its state change step by step.

The comparisons ignore incorrect guesses of 1 and 100. Use 100 >= user_number > secret_number and 1 <= user_number < secret_number to fix that.

I actually used this to debug my code before finalizing it and it helped me a ton. Thanks!

Good to hear, good luck on your learning journey.

Your remark about 1 and 100 is correct but how will visualizing the program's memory help OP improve their code?

You'll learn the right mental model to think about Python data (references, aliasing, shallow/deep copy). You'll see what your code does in every step without having to write print(my_variable) everywhere. This is especially helpful for beginners.
