This is what happens exactly in Mac Terminal:
Enter command to calculate:
+,-,* or/:
after typing the command it asks me for num1 and num2:
type first number: 5
type second number: 5
then it asks me:
do you want to continue?
I type 'yes', the program starts all over again. Now the problem is,
the second time I do a calculation, it doesnt ask me if I want to continue, but it jumps straight to:
Enter command to calculate:
+,-,* or/:
or sometimes:
type first number: 5
type second number: 5
Why does that happen? and how can I make the program ask me every time if I want to continue after each calculation?
loop = True
while loop:
def func():
usr = input('''Enter command to calculate:
+,-,* or/:
''')
if usr not in ("+,-,*,/"):
print("Error! command not allowed. Try again")
func()
num1 = float(input("type first number: "))
num2 = float(input("type second number: "))
if usr == "+":
print("{0} + {1} = {r:0.2f}".format(num1,num2,r=num1+num2))
elif usr == "-":
print("{0} - {1} = {r:0.2f}".format(num1,num2,r=num1-num2))
elif usr == "*":
print("{0} * {1} = {r:0.2f}".format(num1,num2,r=num1*num2))
elif usr == "/":
print("{0} / {1} = {r:0.2f}".format(num1,num2,r=num1/num2))
def func2():
x = input("do you want to continue? ")
if x == "yes":
func()
elif x == "no":
exit()
else:
print("That was not clear. Try again: ")
func2()
func()
func2()
Do you know what I should do in this case?
Depends on what you aim at and what exactly you want to make.
Here's the easiest way to make a powerful console calculator, but at the same time the most insecure:
import os
import sys
import math
def main(argv = sys.argv):
print("EVAL Calculator\nType 'exit' to exit\n")
while True:
exp = input("Type a mathematical expression and press ENTER: ")
if exp.lower() == "exit": return
else: print(eval(exp))
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Input: 2 + 2 * 2
Output: 6
If this doesn't work for you, you can just split a string or use regular expressions.
If you just want to get your code to work well, move while True to the end of the code and tabulate the code itself.
It is not recommended to use the above code for those projects that are intended to be used by other people.

Could you, please, help me to understand how should I use try/except block and count tries at the same time.
Here is the code without try/except block (it seems it's working fine):
import random
number = random.randint(1, 10)
tries = 3
name = input('Hi! What is your name?\n')
answer = input(f'{name}, let\'s play a game! Yes or No?\n')
if answer == 'Yes':
print(f'But be aware: you have only {tries} tries!\nReady?')
chat = input('')
print('Ok, guess a number from 1 to 10!')
while tries != 0:
choice = int(input('Your choice: '))
tries -= 1
if choice > number:
print('My number is less!')
elif choice < number:
print('My number is higher!')
else:
print('Wow! You won!')
break
print(f'You have {tries} tries left.')
if tries == 0 and choice != number:
print(f'Sorry, {name}, you lost... It was {number}. Try next time. Good luck!')
else:
print('No problem! Let\'s make it another time...')
This one is with try/except block.. Not sure where should I place 'choice' variable and where count 'tries', it keeps looping and looping:
import random
number = random.randint(1, 10)
tries = 3
name = input('Hi! What is your name?\n')
answer = input(f'{name}, let\'s play a game! Yes or No?\n')
if answer == 'Yes':
print(f'But be aware: you have only {tries} tries!\nReady?')
chat = input('')
print('Ok, guess a number from 1 to 10!')
while True:
try:
choice = int(input('Your choice: '))
if 0 < choice < 11:
while tries != 0:
tries -= 1
if choice > number:
print(f'My number is less!')
elif choice < number:
print(f'My number is higher!')
else:
print('Wow! You won!')
break
print(f'You have {tries} tries left.')
if tries == 0 and choice != number:
print(f'Sorry, {name}, you lost... It was {number}. Try next time. Good luck!')
else:
print(f'Hey {name}, I said, print a number from 1 to 10!')
except ValueError:
print('Please, enter a number!')
else:
print('No problem! Let\'s make it another time...')
Thanks!

I am fairly new to programming and I scrapped some code together to make a sequence calculator using python.
I'm trying to restart it at the "user_continue = input ("Would you like restart [y/n]? ")" part whenever the user would input an invalid answer, but I don't know how to do that, help?

I am trying to make a simple guess the number program in python. When I run this code,an error generates saying that,"local variable 'chance' referenced before assignment". I looked up for a solution on internet but I could not rectify my error. Please help with this problem. How can I use the variable globally which is declared inside a function?
I am beginner in programming, so plese explain in simple words.
Here is the code..
Since I am a beginner,I will be pleased if my code can be rectified
import random
def Random():
chance = 3
number = random.randint(0,20)
return chance
return number
def main():
while chance > 0:
UserInput = int(input('Guess the number: '))
if UserInput == number:
print('You have guesses the secret number!')
elif UserInput > 20 and UserInput < 0:
print('Your guess is out of range!\n Try again!')
else:
chance -= 1
if chance == 1:
print('You are out of chances!')
print('Wrong Guess!\nTry again!')
print(f'You have {chance} chances left!')
Random()
main()
playAgain = input('Want to play again? ')
if playAgain == 'yes' or 'YES' or 'Yeah' or 'yeah':
Random()
main()
else:
print('Thanks for playing!')
You can return a list or a tuple to the outside word:
import random
def example():
chance = 3
number = random.randint(0,20)
return (chance, number) # return both numbers as a tuple
chance, randNr = example() # decomposes the returned tuple
print(chance, randNr)
prints:
3, 17
There are more bugs in your program, f.e.:
if playAgain == 'yes' or 'YES' or 'Yeah' or 'yeah':
is always True and you'll never be able to leave the game. Better would be
if playAgain.lower() in {'yes', 'yeah'}:
etc.
Here is a working example for your programs purpose:
import random
while True:
chances = 3
number = random.randint(0,20)
while chances > 0:
guess = int(input("Guess number: "))
if guess == number:
print("Correct")
break
else:
chances -= 1
print("Wrong, ", chances, " more tries to get it right.")
if chances == 0:
print ("You failed")
if not input("Play again? ")[:1].lower() == "y":
break
print("Bye.")
Read about tuples
Output:
Guess number: 1
Wrong, 2 more tries to get it right.
Guess number: 4
Correct
Play again? y
Guess number: 1
Wrong, 2 more tries to get it right.
Guess number: 2
Wrong, 1 more tries to get it right.
Guess number: 3
Wrong, 0 more tries to get it right.
You failed
Play again? n
Bye.

So I tried to make a game where the computer chooses a random 4 digit number out of 10 given numbers. The computer then compares the guess of the user with the random chosen code, and will give feedback accordingly:
G = correct digit that is correctly placed
C = correct digit, but incorrectly placed
F = the digit isn't in the code chosen by the computer
However, the feedback doesn't always output correctly.
Fox example, when I guess 9090, the feedback I get is F C F, while the feedback should consist of 4 letters.... How can I fix this?
