Hi Tutors This is my first mail to this list so firstly thank you for reading and apologies in advance for any noob mistakes i may have inadvertantly made:). Ive only started learning python as my first programming language and its all going well so far, working my way through a couple of books one of which is programming python: for absolute beginners by Michael Dawson
In one of the code samples he supplies while doing loops ( namely if and else loops) im getting a NameError i dont understand and cannot find any help anywhere about it. here is the code he supplied and the error im getting # Password # Demonstrates the if statement print("Welcome to System Security Inc.") print("-- where security is our middle name\n") password = input("Enter your password: ") if password == "secret": print("Access Granted") input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit.") and the traceback error im getting Traceback (most recent call last): File "G:\Programming\Python\programming python\chapter3\password.py", line 7, in <module> password = input("Enter your password: ") File "<string>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'secret' is not defined I know this is probably very simple but for some reason i cannot get my head around it. thank you for any help in advance shane
