"""This is my code"""

Error:

I think I am following the video exactly. 

Can someone tell me precisely where and what the mistake is AND why it is a mistake?

Thanks.

As buran pointed out, please use code tags.
I added them for you...this time.

First of all - please, use code tags when posting code and error tags, when posting traceback

when taking user input

userGuess = input("Your guess: ")

userGuess is of type str and you try to compare it with randomNumber which in this particular case is 35 (i.e. type int)
you need to convert userGuess to int in order to be able to compare it with variable of type int

userGuess = int(input("Your guess: "))

however note that in case user enter something that is not int, this will rise error. Eventually you need to handle this too.
