Number Guessing program

Fovvler (7)
Hey this is a program I've been working on. I was just looking for some input and tips/advice to improve it.

You think of a number between 1 and 100. The computer tries to guess it based off user input in which you tell it too low, too high or correct.

Here's what I have so far:
1
