When you're typing in your email, you should see a '<< Plain text'
button link on the upper left. This will put you in plain text mode.
Likewise you'll see a similar button to switch back to 'Rich
Formatting>>' mode from there.

Re: [Tutor] trouble with "if"

[adam urbas]

The scary part is, I think I understand this.  I copied your last example and 
put it in IDLE and it doesn't like you code.  Never mind.  I figured it out.  
So that is so it will notify you if your choice is invalid.  Nice lil tidbit of 
information there.  I'll be sure to use this.  Oh and while your here, I'd like 
to ask about loops I guess they are.  I want to have the program go back to the 
part where it asks for the user to select an option after it has run one of its 
if statements.Like, when the user tells it, "circle," then "radius," then 
enters the radius: here I would like the program to go back and ask the user if 
they want to do anything else, like find the area of a square, instead of the 
circle.  Would I have to tell python to print all those selections again, or 
would there be a way to just return to the beginning?Thanks,Au> Date: Sun, 27

Re: [Tutor] gmail

[jim stockford]

i'd be curious to see what happens if you
use the  tag around your (properly)
indented code, e.g.


this = 1
that = 0
if this == 1 :
that = 1
print that

Hi Adam,

Again, I cut the mess, but I expect that if you use the gmail account 
you just posted about here on in, that will be the end of it.

I'm glad that you are starting to have the warm glow of understanding :-)

What you are asking about here is one reason why functions are so 
useful. They allow you (more or less) to give a name to a chunk of 
code, and then you can rerun that chunk at will by invoking the name.

Given the problem you want to solve, I'd structure my code something 
like the following. Most of the details need to be filled in, but this 
is the skeletal structure.


def welcome_message():
 # Some actions to invoke when the user starts the program
 print "Welcome to this program."

def display_menu():
 # Insert code for showing the user the menu of options
 pass

def circle_area():
 # insert code here to ask user for the radius, compute the area,
 # and display the result. You might well want to divide that up
 # into other functions that this one calls.
 pass

def square_area():
 # Likewise
 pass

# And so on, for each shape that you wish to handle

def exit_message():
 # Some actions to invoke when the user chooses to terminate
 # the program.
 print "Thank you for using this program. Goodbye."

def prompt_user():
 # Here is where the sort of code I showed you before would go.
 # I'd include an option, say 0, for exiting, which, when the
 # user picks it, you call exit_message()

 while True:
 try:
 choice = int(raw_input("Please make your choice "))
 if choice < 0 or choice > 2: # Adjust to suit options
 raise ValueError
 break
 except ValueError:
 print "Please make a choice from the options offered."

 # sends the choice back to the code that called prompt_user
 # We won't get here until a good choice has been made
 return choice

def main():
 # The main function driving your program. It might look
 # something like this:
 welcome_message()

 while True:   # This will loop forever until you break out
 display_menu()
 choice = prompt_user()

 if choice == 0:
 exit_message()
 break   # Terminate the while loop
 elif choice == 1:  # Assuming 1 was the option for circle
 circle_area()
 elif choice == 2:
 square_area()
 # And so on

 print "Please make another choice:"   # Go back to top of loop


if __name__ == '__main__':
 # This will run if you run the script, but not if you import it.
 main()


This has not been tested (it is only an outline) but it does pass the 
only so reliable eyeball check :-)

I'd suggest you try filling this sketch out to be useful, and post if 
you run into troubles.

Best,

Brian vdB

Ok, I'm not sure if I'm in the right gmail.  When I type I don't see
any buttons that say rich text or plain text.  Only Send, Save Draft,
and Discard.

And I have no idea what jim is talking about.  Please clarify.

Well, whatever you did when sending this one sent out a plain text 
email. (And there was much rejoicing.)

Jim suggested using an html tag to see if it helped your formatting.

[Tutor] [Fwd: Re: trouble with "if"]

[Brian van den Broek]

Forwarding to the list as I'm out of time on this one for now.

Adam, it is better to reply to all so that messages are sent to the 
list and not just the original sender. That way, more people can help, 
more people can learn, and you don't have to wait on one person to 
find the time.

Anticipating: when you are displaying a message in gmail, the top 
right-hand side of the message display window has a clickable `Reply'. 
Immediately beside that is a down pointing arrow. Click on that, and 
you will have a menu with an option `Reply to all.' That's the reply 
mechanism you want to use to reply to the list and the original sender 
rather than just the sender.

Best,

Brian vdB

In the def welcome(), what do you put in the parentheses?  Another
question, what code do you use for ending the program.  I want the
user to be able to cancel the program from the main menu, where it
asks you to choose circle, square, etc.  Or even perhaps allow the
user to go back to a previous menu, well I suppose that would be the
def thing() code.  But what if they were at the part where the program
was asking them to input the radius, how would I give them the option
of returning to the list of given measurements of a circle?

I'm having trouble with the parentheses after the def thing().  IDLE
says that there is something wrong with it.  If I type something
between them, it says that there is something wrong with the quotation
marks.  If I just leave it like (), then it says that something is
wrong with what is after the parentheses.  Unless my code is supposed
to go between the parentheses.  I'll try that.
