Python Help

[pwnage630]

I have recently started programming in python and I decided to tackle a small project, there won't be any graphics or pictures just a questionnaire that guesses your age.

 

This question is kind of a tough question to put into words so bear with me   .

 

Essentially I need to know how to make it to where if a person replies "yes" to a certain question then a certain number is put into a mathematical equation and a different number that goes into that equation if they were to reply "no".

 

For Example: say, Yes = 1  and No = 2

 

If they typed Yes than they would get the answer "2" (1+1)

If they typed No then they would get the answer "3" (2+1)

 

 

If that was a little tough to understand I apologize and please don't hate, I've only just started in Python.

 

Thank You!

I havent done python in a year so there may be some tiny bugs...

Thanks I'll try it out and let you know if it worked, and I had one more question. Do the order of operations apply in Python?

You're welcome, let me know how it goes.

Yes python knows BEDMAS, but you can always use brackets () to make sure everything is done in the order you want

Thanks and how do I make the things that are printed show up one at a time (it only works on the first one for some reason)?

You mean like on a new line each time?

do

print "\n"

for a new line

 

you can also do

print "hello there\nthis is now a new line"

and the stuff after \n will be on a new line

Lol I figured it out  and no, I was talking about when a question is asked you answer it then a second question is asked and so on. But I already figured it out (it was a comma)

It is say that int number is an invalid syntax.

k then do

number=0

or try just

x=raw_input()

int number <--------- not needed 

int answer <--------- not needed 

if x=="yes":

    number=5

elif x=="no":

    number=6

answer=number+10

print answer

 

hey guys, In python you do not have to initialize a variable before it's use or define it's type. All of this is done at the time of first assignment, also everything is an object with a type so can just change at any point.

 

like this.

number = 0number = "string" 

So when I do the first line the variable number is an object with the assignment of 0 and it's type is int. then when I reassign this, the value and the type of the variable change to "string" and string respectively but it is still an object.

 

this theory goes right the way through python, from classes, to functions, to variables, everything is a object with a type.

Like said in the above post, you don't need to define a variable before you assign it a value in Python. Just leave that code out, as it has no real purpose and is just extra unneccessary code in your program.
