Can anyone tell me how to fix the errors I am getting if possible? I'm
quite new and so confused...
I could give lots of diagnostic advice and detail. There is so much
wrong with this program.
I suggest you discard it, back up and start with the simplest possible
statement of the problem which is:
print a number randomly chosen from (0,1,2)
Then write the simplest possible program to do this one time; no loops
or functions.
The entire program could then be written in 2 lines of code. Run it, fix
it if it does not work. Once you have success -
Add (one at a time) various features:
- roll dice to select winner
- player names
- repetition
Continue to avoid writing functions. They are not necessary for such a
simple program.
The final product will have less than 15 statements.
also how do I display the winner under the displayInfo function?
import random
def main():
print
playerOne, playerTwo = inputNames(playerOne, PlayerTwo)
while endProgram == 'no':
endProgram == no
playerOne = 'NO NAME'
playerTwo = 'NO NAME'
winnerName = rollDice(p1number, p2number, playerOne,
playerTwo, winnerName)
winnerName = displayInfo
endProgram = raw_input('Do you want to end program? (Enter yes
or no): ')
def inputNames(playerOne, PlayerTwo):
p1name = raw_input("Enter your name.")
p2name = raw_input("Enter your name.")
return playerOne, playerTwo
def random(winnerName):
p1number = random.randint(1, 6)
p2number = random.randint(1, 6)
if p1number > p2number:
playerOne = winnerName
elif p1number < p2number:
playerTwo = winnerName
else p1number == p2number:
playerOne, playerTwo = winnerName
def displayInfo():
#how do I display winner?
main()
