What am i missing? Also, I'm not sure I'm right in the assignment ans = choose_Cave. I code it like so because the assignment ans = choose_Cave() the prompt 'Choose a cave' is repeated when the script is run. Dont want this. I tested this when run in ipython. I dont know if there is a way to just retrieve the return value to a variable AND not run the whole function i mean in the case of ans = choose_Cave(). Would love to hear your expert insights by return. http://paste.debian.net/51004/ -- Best Regards, bibimidi On Sat, Nov 7, 2009 at 3:26 PM, Dave Angel <da...@ieee.org> wrote: > Alan Gauld wrote: >> > Alan - Excellent comments, as usual. > > bibimidi - I would point out that after you remove the 'global choose' line > as Alan said, you should rename the global variable you're using to store > the return value.
