Python: Looping issue or indentation

Hi guys! I need help with Boolean operators in my program. You have to guess a number set by the program, from 1 - 1000. If you guess it says good job, if not it says high/low.

Use While, if/elif/else (any of them), and also a playagain loop.

Here's what I have so far.

import random

a = int(input("I have a number between 1 and 1000. Can you guess my number?\nPlease type your first guess."))
x = random.randrange(1,1000)
counter = 0
b = False
while not b:
    if a == x:
        print ("Excellent! You guessed the number in", counter1,"tries.")
        b = True
    elif a > x:
        print ("high")
        counter = counter + 1

    elif a < x:
        print ("low")
        counter = counter + 1

Your main issue was that you weren't prompting them in the loop.

import random

x = random.randrange(1,1000)    
counter = 0 

while True:
    guess = int(input("I have a number between 1 and 1000. Can you guess my number?\nPlease type your first guess.")) 
    if guess == x:
        print ("Excellent! You guessed the number in", counter,"tries.")
        break
    else:
        if guess > x:
            print("high")
        else:
            print("low")
        counter += 1

To prompt the user if they wish to play again, you'd do the following:

import random

x = random.randrange(1,1000)    
counter = 0 

while True:
    guess = int(input("I have a number between 1 and 1000. Can you guess my number?\nPlease type your first guess.")) 
    if guess == x:
        print ("Excellent! You guessed the number in", counter,"tries.")
        play_again = input("Type Y if you'd like to play again, or N if not")
        if play_again == 'N':
            break
    else:
        if guess > x:
            print("high")
        else:
            print("low")
        counter += 1
