making a AI

[jameshumphries47]

okay guys im pretty new to python i have decide to make a talking AI like siri my first goal is to get it working via text then to make a GUI then some sort of voice then put it on a raspberry PI, this is what i have so far 

import timeprint ("welcome to the AI")comp = input() if comp == "computer":    instr = input("instrustion?")if instr == "play noel gallagher if i had a gun":        print ("playing if i had a gun by noel gallagher")elif instr == "who is your creator":        print ("you james")        else:    print ("sorry i miss heard")    

im trying to nest the second if statement  between the first if and the last else how would i do this? i have tried an indent but i get unexpected indent!

btw this is just a start to get a rough idea on how to do this!

The indent works, but the inst line has to match the indent for the following if statement, when I copy/pasted they were slightly off.

if comp == "computer":    instr = input("instrustion?") #3 spaces in front of inst not a full indent (indents are usually a multiple of 4 spaces by default so "tabbing" to indent the other lines doesn't match up)    # extra space in front of the below code from indent    if instr == "play noel gallagher if i had a gun":        print ("playing if i had a gun by noel gallagher")    elif instr == "who is your creator":        print ("you james")else:    print ("sorry i miss heard")

okay thanks that heled alot now i have added a while loop so it loops back to the start to re ask the questions but it doesnt seem to want to go back to the top it just stops at the end of the instructio! 

import timeprint ("welcome to the AI")while 0==0:    comp = input()    instr = input("instrustion?")    if instr == "play noel gallagher if i had a gun":        print ("playing if i had a gun by noel gallagher")    elif instr == "who is your creator":        print ("you james")    elif instr == "what are you doing":        print ("not alot")    else:        print ("sorry i miss heard")    

if you could help with that i would be so happy!

Fixed with comments:

import timeprint ("welcome to the AI")while True:  # Use True instead of 0==0    #comp = input()  # Why are you asking for input here? I removed it. If you want a new line, just use print    instr = raw_input("instrustion?")  # Use raw_input instead of input (source: http://stackoverflow.com/a/4960216/1765721)    if instr == "play noel gallagher if i had a gun":        print ("playing if i had a gun by noel gallagher")    elif instr == "who is your creator":        print ("you james")    elif instr == "what are you doing":        print ("not alot")    else:        print ("sorry i miss heard")

no i want it so after every instruction you have to type computer again to type another instruction in hers a vid that im basing the whole program on 

[madknight3]

Ok, then you can add that input line back in, just use raw_input instead of input.

 

You're probably also going to want to add a check to make sure they typed "computer", if not, then exit.

yeah python 3.4 you cant use raw_input i dont think, i have added the cpommand back in but still it just stops at playing noel gallagher if i had a gun

import timeprint ("welcome to the AI")while True:     comp = input()    if comp =="computer":        instr = input("instrustion?")    else:        print ("sorry i miss heard")    if instr == "play noel gallagher if i had a gun":        print ("playing if i had a gun by noel gallagher")    elif instr == "who is your creator":        print ("you james")    elif instr == "what are you doing":        print ("not alot")    else:        print ("sorry i miss heard")

Ah, my mistake. I assumed Python 2.7. You should specify

 

(or maybe I should have noticed from your print statements )

do you have ideas then? how i can loop back to the start of the while

It's not stopping, it's waiting for more input from the line

comp = input()

Just enter "computer" again.
