Re: [Tutor] trouble with if

I think you need to use "raw_input" instead of "input". input "eval" the input expression while "raw_input" just stores it. I find the module help very handy when I am in doubt. >>> print raw_input.__doc__ raw_input([prompt]) -> string Read a string from standard input. The trailing newline is s

I cannot get this to work either. woffaxis = 7 if woffaxis != 0: woaf_pos = input("What is Wedge Direction (N/A, Lateral, Towards Heal, Towards Toe)?") if woaf_pos == 'Towards Toe': woffaxis = woffaxis elif woaf_pos == 'Towards Heal': woffaxis = (woffaxis * -1) else: woffaxis
