Re: [Tutor] Coding
The problem is when i enter my first choice it accepts it fine and well. When it says would you like a second item, andi say yes it listd the options and says have a good day and the program cuts off. In wondering if this is a problem with the statements?

When it says would you like a second item, andi say yes it listd the
options and says have a good day and the program cuts off. In wondering if
this is a problem with the statements?
As Danny pointed out both Steven and I suggested a better way to test.
In case you missed it here is Steven's response:
Actually it sees it as:
if ((FirstChoice == 'Coke') or 'Pepsi' or 'Water'):
which will always evaluate as True.
*Technically* it will evaluate as either True or 'Pepsi', which is a
truthy value, so the if block will always run.
What we actually want is one of these:
# The long way
if (FirstChoice == 'Coke') or (FirstChoice == 'Pepsi') or (FirstChoice
== 'Water'):
# The short way
if FirstChoice in ('Coke', 'Pepsi', 'Water'):
###
And since you already have the drinks in a set you can
shorten the last line even further to:
if FirstChoice in drinks:

Is it by email or are you using an archive or newsfeed. (For example I use the gmane.org newsfeed) And are you checking the email account that you subscribed with? I notice that this address: 2010-3...@slougheton.com is not registered on the tutor mailing list, so won't be getting sent any responses. Yes, there is a problem that we can see. Look for Alan and Stephen's responses in your email inbox. They should explain what's going on, and how to correct the bug. Can you confirm that you're getting these emails from them? PS. I'm using ReplyAll rather than ReplyLiust to ensure Awais gets the mail, apologies for any duplicates received by other recipients. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
