"...an error, something about the 'end'" is not much to go on.
Most of the time, when there is an error in a python program,
Python will print "traceback" error message. When asking for
help please copy and paste those lines in your post. Without
that it is just a guessing game for anyone to try and figure
out what is wrong.
Did perhaps your traceback message look like this?
File "xx3.py", line 28
print ("digits matched: ", end='')
^
If so, you are running your program with python2, not python3.
So you need to either figure out how to run python3 (does entering
the command "python3" do anything?) or change the program to work
with python2.
If the error message was different than above, you need to post
it here if people are to have any chance of helping you figure
out what is wrong.

Heh! Dont be hard on yourself!
When youve been a teacher long enough you will know
- communication is the exception*
- misunderstanding is quite ok
- non-understanding is the norm
* Yeah Fr. Thomas Keating talks about the fact that he prefers communion to communication. Hopefully when I go to heaven I'll find out how the admin there is so efficient

Why did you add those two >> symbols in front of your new text? Each
such symbol is supposed to indicate that another level of quoting is
occuring. So when I saw your message, I first concluded that you sent a
blank reply.
(I also added another character in front of it, so you'd see it.
Apparently googlegroups messes up your view of things in order to cover
up its bugs in posting.
As for your question. Yes, you did something wrong. You thoroughly
underspecified the phrase "not working."
When you run a program and it gets an exception, read the whole
traceback. And when you want help here, copy the WHOLE TRACEBACk.
If raw_input() is working without an exception, then you are NOT running
Python3.x. Figure that out first, perhaps by sticking these two lines
at the beginning of your code:
import sys
print(sys.version)

Sure it's possible. What do you think would happen if you
replaced the code that compares the digits and prints Y or
N with with something like this?
if guess_str > number_str: print ("H", end='')
if guess_str < number_str: print ("L", end='')
if guess_str == number_str: print ("Y", end='')
(you are comparing 1-character long strings containing a
digit between "0" and "9" but they will compare the same
way numbers do.)

To do that, you'll need to convert the string digits back to
numbers that you can do arithmetic on. The int() function
can do that. Then you can do something like
if guess_num > number_num + 3: ... print what you want here.
You'll find you get more and better answers to your questions
if you attempt to do something yourself and when you find it is
not doing what you want, post here saying what you tried, what
it did, and how what it did is different from what you want.
You'll also get better responses if you edit out the empty
and excess ">" lines in the quoted text of your replies,
which you are still not doing.

No, you're still adding a ">" character before the stuff you typed.
That's supposed to show what you are quoting. One bracket is the person
you're replying to, two marks the stuff he was quoting, and so on.
Any decent mail program does it for you automatically, or with minimum
configuration.
Only googlegroups messes it up so consistently.
