I'm learning python and created a number guessing game on which I would like to get your feedback on the structure and style of the program.

print("-" * 40)
print("Welcome to the number guessing game")
print("-" * 40)

"""Collect and validate the entries made by the users
Returns
-------
int
Gives back the validated number entered by the user.
"""
while True:
try:
guess = int(
input(f'Enter your Guess of a number between '
f'{LOWER_NUMBER} - {HIGHEST_NUMBER}: '))
if guess < LOWER_NUMBER or guess > HIGHEST_NUMBER:
print("The entered number is out of range, try again.")
continue
except ValueError:
print('you did not enter a number, please try again.')
continue
else:
break
return guess

"""Generates a random number between the given lowest and highest number

return random.randint(lower_number, higher_number)

while True:
new_game = input(
"Would you like to play again? [y]es/[n]o: ")
if new_game.lower() not in ["n", "y"]:
print('Wrong entry please use y or n')
continue
else:
