Python Random Math Equation Generator program

I've currently been creating a math equation generator program that will ask you random multiplication questions. I have been having trouble with the if statements where ans == answer will be equal dependent on the user's input (correct answer). However, my program does not see it as equal despite being the same value with example from printing ans and answer which shows they are the same value. I don't know if I am doing something wrong and I would like to know a method of fixing my issue.
Also when I tried to create for and while loops for the generating the equations, it would print them all out at once, is there a way to also make it so that the loop will not print a new random equation until the user gets the answer right?

#This is for creating the tkinter window and fixing the specified dimensions into place
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("900x600")
#This section creates the canvas and its specifications
canvas_width = 900
canvas_height = 500
c = Canvas(root, width=canvas_width, height=canvas_height, bg="pink")
c.pack()

answer = int_1 * int_2
def generateQ():
ans = e1.get()
e1.delete(0, END)
if ans == answer:
score += 1
x += 1
print("correct")
print(ans)
print(answer)
else:
print("wrong")
print(ans)
print(answer)
#Buttons show up below the canvas to run commands when pressed
Button(root, text = "Commence Forth",width = 15, command = game_start).place(x=10, y=570)
Button(root, text = "Quit",width = 11, command = quitgame).place(x=800, y=570)
e1 = Entry(root)
e1.pack(padx=30, pady=30)
b=Button(root,text="Enter", width=5, font=("Helvetica", 12), command = generateQ)
b.place(x=550, y=534)
root.mainloop()

Change function generateQ() like this -
def generateQ():
global score,x
ans = e1.get()
e1.delete(0, END)
if int(ans) == int(answer):
score += 1
x += 1
print("correct")
print(ans)
print(answer)
else:
print("wrong")
print(ans)
print(answer)
Use int() so that they are of same data type. And use global score,x because it shows error. You could also write score and x as arguments.

Text Game to Tkinter GUI [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Why is my Button's command executed immediately when I create the Button, and not when I click it? [duplicate]
(5 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I'm attempting to make a GUI for my text game (similar to a pokemom game)
In summary the code works like:
import random
hp = 100
for i in range (0,4):
element = input("Enter attack: ")
list.append(element)
attack1 = list[0]
attack2 = list[1]
attack3 = list[2]
attack4 = list[3]
while(True):
cmd = input(">")
If cmd.lower() == attack1 ... :
if cmd.lower() == bite:
hp -= 10
Now I tried doing a gui on Tkinter through buttons but it seems I can't get a grasp of it
from tkinter import *
#4 buttons
bite = 0
root = Tk()
def click(hp):
hp -= 10
myLabel = Label(text=f"{hp} hp remaining left.")
myLabel.grid(row = 5, column = 5)
def click2():
bite = 0
hp = 50
hp -= 20
myLabel = Label(text=f"{hp} hp remaining left.")
myLabel.grid(row = 5, column = 5)
bite += 1
myButton = Button(root, text=f"hello {bite}/5", command = click(hp))
myButton2 = Button(root, text=f"Presssss {bite}/5", command = click2)
myButton3 = Button(root, text="Presssss")
myButton4 = Button(root, text="Presssss")
myButton.grid(row = 0, column = 1)
myButton2.grid(row = 1, column = 1)
myButton3.grid(row = 1, column = 2)
myButton4.grid(row = 0, column = 2)
root.mainloop()
And this just presents a constant value "90, 30" due to the variables being included on the function, but whenever I'm trying to put it into an argument like
hp = 100
def click(hp):
hp -= 10
button1 = Button(root, text = "try", command = click(100))
It just returns the value 90, 30 way before the button is clicked. When hp is used as an arg, it is saying undefined.

It does so because click() function is called as soon as window is created.
To prevent it you can use lambda :
myButton = Button(root, text=f"hello {bite}/5", command = lambda: click(hp))

Jumping between functions in tkinter

so I am working on this school project and I need to be able to run the random number generator then if it is 1 go to the headspinner module but if it is 2 go to the tailspinner module. After that the code should add up the score and print it to the user.
Any advice on how to jump from one function to another in my code would be much appreciated thank you.
from tkinter import * # access tkinter library
import random # get random number generator
money = 100
#create coin flip module
def coinFlip():
flip = random.randint(1, 2)
if flip == 1:
headspinner()
else:
tailspinner()
#create headspinner module
def headspinner():
global money
head = random.randint(1, 2)
if head == 1:
money = money + 30
else:
money = money - 25
#create tailspinner module
def tailspinner():
global money
tail = random.randint(1, 4)
if tail == 1:
money = money + 2
elif tail == 2:
money = money + 5
elif tail == 3:
money = money + 10
else:
money = money + 15
#gains or losses module
def upordown():
global money
if money > 100:
screen.itemconfig(message, text = f"Congratulations, you won ${(money - 100):.2f}", font = ("Calibri", "18"))
else:
screen.itemconfig(message, text = f"Congratulations, you won ${(100 - money):.2f}", font = ("Calibri", "18"))
#create pop up box
root = Tk()
#creating canvas
screen = Canvas (root, height = 600, width = 800, bg = "lightgreen")
screen.pack()
#flip button
go = Button(root, text = "Flip", cursor = "hand2", command = coinFlip)
goButton = screen.create_window(400, 530, window = go)
#cerate title
title = screen.create_text(400, 100, text = "Welcome to Flip and Spin", font = ("Calibri", "35"))
#text for instructions
text1 = Label(root, text = "Welcome to the Flip and Spin game! \nThis game includes a quick fate of what you could encounter. \nIt starts off with a fast flip of a coin followed by a dizzying spin of a spinner. \nCome and play to decide if you will lose money, \nmake your money back, or win some easy money!", font = ("Calibri", "20"), justify = CENTER, bg = "light green")
text1label = screen.create_window(400, 300, window = text1,)
#text for final results
message = screen.create_text(400, 400, text = "Results", font = ("Calibri", "18"))
#close canvas
mainloop()

You are already switching from function to function in def coinFlip.
You just need to put everything together.
Here's a simple example to get you started:
from tkinter import Tk, Button, Label, X, LEFT, RIGHT
import random
money = 100
#create coin flip module
def coin_flip():
flip = random.randint(1, 2)
if flip == 1:
headspinner()
else:
tailspinner()
#create headspinner module
def headspinner():
global money
head = random.randint(1, 2)
if head == 1:
money = money + 30
else:
money = money - 25
text.config(text=f"Headspinner: {money}", bg="#aaafff")
#create tailspinner module
def tailspinner():
global money
tail = random.randint(1, 4)
if tail == 1:
money = money + 2
elif tail == 2:
money = money + 5
elif tail == 3:
money = money + 10
else:
money = money + 15
text.config(text=f"Tailspinner: {money}", bg="#ffaaaa")
def show_result():
global money
text.config(text=f"Result: {money}.\nClick the Flip button to start over.", bg="#fffaaa")
money = 100 # reset
root = Tk()
root.title("Game")
# the text here changes when the buttons are pressed
text = Label(root, text="Welcome to the Flip and Spin game!", font = ("Calibri", "18"))
text.pack()
rules = Label(root, text="This game includes a quick fate of what you could encounter. \nIt starts off with a fast flip of a coin followed by a dizzying spin of a spinner. \nCome and play to decide if you will lose money, \nmake your money back, or win some easy money!", font = ("Calibri", "10"))
rules.pack()
# click the button to run the command and change the text in the Label
flip_button = Button(root, text="Flip", command=coin_flip, fg="blue")
flip_button.pack(fill=X, side=LEFT, expand=True)
# click the button to run the command and change the text in the Label
result_button = Button(root, text="Result", command=show_result, fg="blue")
result_button.pack(fill=X, side=RIGHT, expand=True)
root.mainloop()

window destruction error in Tkinter

I'm trying to create a Hangman game GUI using Tkinter. I have fully working code apart from several things. I want to create a loop that would restart the game by button press or quit the game by pressing "no".
I also want for these buttons to appear in new window and close the window before.
I've removed not needed parts of the code so you would only see main problem area and main idea. To make it work you just need to type in "b" and then "o":
from Tkinter import *
item = "BOO"
oldString = "-" * (len(item))
blank = "-" * (len(item))
guesses = 10
def start():
winMain.destroy()
mainMenu()
def theWinner():
def end():
root.destroy()
def replay():
root.destroy()
mainMenu()
root = Tk()
root.title("HANGMAN GAME DEMO")
answer = Entry(root)
answer.insert(END, "You Won!!! Play again?")
answer.grid(row = 0, column = 0)
yesB=Button(root, text = "Yes", command = replay)
yesB.grid(row = 1, column = 0)
noB = Button(root, text = "Quit", command = end)
noB.grid(row = 1, column = 1)
root.mainloop()
def mainMenu():
def gameOn():
global guesses
global oldString
newString = ""
i = 0
x = len(item)
hanged = ""
readString = answerIn.get().upper()
winner = 1
if readString not in item:
guesses -= 1
elif readString in item:
while x > 0:
if item[i] != readString:
newString = newString + oldString[i]
elif item[i] == readString:
newString = newString + readString
i +=1
x -=1
oldString = newString
out.config(state=NORMAL)
out.delete(0,END)
out.insert(0,oldString);
out.config(state=DISABLED)
answerIn.delete(0,END)
if oldString == item:
win.destroy()
theWinner()
newString = ""
i=0
x=len(item)
answerIn.delete(0,END)
win = Tk()
win.geometry ("665x480")

win.configure(background='LightBlue2')
#Display of the word user is trying to guess

guessWord.grid(row=1, column=0, pady = 10, padx = 6, sticky = W)
guessWord.insert(END, "The word is: ")
guessWord.config(state = DISABLED)
#guessWord = Label(win, bg = "mint cream", font="helvetica 10 ", text = "The word you have to guess is: ")
guessWord.grid(row=1, column=0, pady = 10, padx = 9, sticky = W)
out = Entry(win, border = 2, font="helvetica 15 bold", width = 12, disabledforeground = "black", disabledbackground = "gold")
out.insert(0,blank);
out.config(state=DISABLED)
out.grid(row=1, column=0, pady = 10, padx = 200, sticky = W)
#Type in Window
answer = Entry(win, disabledbackground = "mint cream", disabledforeground = "black", font="helvetica 10", width = 21, border = 2)
answer.grid(row=2, column=0, pady = 10, padx = 8, sticky = W)
answer.insert(END,"Please type in the letter: ")
answer.config(state=DISABLED)
answerIn = Entry(win,width = 3, border = 2)
answerIn.focus_set()
answerIn.grid(row=2, column=0, pady = 10, padx = 200, sticky = W)
b = Button(win, text = "Enter",command = gameOn, bg = "chartreuse2", font="helvetica 10 bold",)
b.grid(row=2, column=0, pady = 10, padx = 200)
win.mainloop()
winMain = Tk()
winMain.title("HANGMAN GAME DEMO")
imageLabel = Label(winMain, text = "HELLO!")
imageLabel.pack()
winMain.after(1000, start)
winMain.mainloop()
If I press "no", I get the following error:
Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python27\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1541, in __call__
return self.func(*args)
File "C:/Python27/8.py", line 69, in gameOn
answerIn.delete(0,END)
File "C:\Python27\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 2509, in delete
self.tk.call(self._w, 'delete', first, last)
TclError: invalid command name ".94412392"
If I press "yes", it does not seem to restart the game from the start. It only lets me enter one character before bringing Win window again.
Where am I going wrong and is there a quick fix for this?

The error is because after destroying the window you want to delete the content in the entry widget. See this part
def mainMenu():
.......
.......
......
if oldString == item:
win.destroy()
theWinner()
# newString = ""
# i=0
# x=len(item)
# answerIn.delete(0,END)
You can see i commented that part you don't need it after closing the window when you do that the error wont pop up again.With regards to the game not starting it thing you should create another function with the same command for for it because
def replay():
root.destroy()
mainMenu()
it isn't working when you call it.I will also suggest you use Toplevel window rather than calling Tk and mainloop more than one.
check this link out [Toplevel documentation][1] .It hard for everyone to debug your code because you are creating several function under another function separate them.

You need to reset oldString when you end a game:
Replace
if oldString == item:
win.destroy()
theWinner()
With
if oldString == item:
win.destroy()
oldString='---'
theWinner()
And it should work (I have tested).

Without trying to solve your issue on your codebase I do recommend to switch the code to be class based, that way you are more in control and can easier keep references which are needed to make some of this gui-stuff work as expected. A bonus will be that you can ditch the globals you have as well.
There is an excellent py2 tkinter doc from where this minimal example is copied just to give an idea of the class based style of coding for gui's, which generally is the prefered way of doing it. You seem to be on py2, however if you're on py3 the docs works as well, you just have to keep track of the minor differences in the imports.

Being trying to get this to work for a while now but, what I want to do is open the GUI when the user enters choice '5' but I'm not sure if there is a different way to call a class or something, have looked online for a bit couldn't see any useful examples to help. Any help would be much appreciated, cheers.

I couldn't run code at this moment but I see one mistake.
When dashboard is created it needs parent instance - like root - but in menu() you use Frame which is class name, not instance.
In menu() you will have to create root before you create dashboard, and use root.mainloop() after that.
elif choice == "5":
print("Dashboard")
root = Tk()
root.title("Dashboard")
root.geometry("300x170")
app = dashboard(root)
root.mainloop()
EDIT: full working code.
Because now root is local variable inside main() so in dashboard I use self.master instead of root - see command=self.master.destroy
