# This is simple game whereby the computer tries to guess the number in my head.
# First, the lowest and highest numbers are set. The index, which relates to number
# of guesses is set to zero. The guessNumber() is called to get the first random
# number. The checkGuess() is called to verify if the guess is higher than the
# number, lower than the number, or the exact number.
#
# The random number function is modified by updating the lows and highs for
# randint() after each iteration. The number of guesses is also passed on after
# each guess.
