Why is my 'while' loop not working in Python? [duplicate]

Asking the user for input until they give a valid response
(22 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I'm a beginner in Python. I've tried using the 'while' loop. I need the code to allow the user to reattempt the question after their previously incorrect guess. After the first correct try, it says what I want it to say but after the first wrong try, the correct answer is given as incorrect. How do I solve this and what am I doing wrong?
key = input("Choose a place and see if your guess is correct! ")
if key == ("bed"):
print("Congratulations! You are correct and will now progress to room 2.")
while key != ("bed"):
input("Unfortunately your guess is incorrect. Try again. ") ```

First of all you need to indent the 2nd line. Second of all the loop can't work because you say that the loop should stop when the key is "bed" but you do not change the key. The 4th line should be: key = input("Unfortunately your guess is incorrect. Try again. ")
Of course you need to put your if statement in the while loop.

while(True):
if key == ("bed"):
print("Congratulations! You are correct and will now progress to room 2.")
False
else:
key = input("Unfortunately your guess is incorrect. Try againg.")
maybe try it like "this"?

Python if statements keep skipping [duplicate]

How to test multiple variables for equality against a single value?

To provide some context, I am looking to create a program that will encrypt and decrypt through the Caesar cipher, and I have created code for both of these functions that works quite well. However, when I try to conjoin these into one code I find that it always ignores the if statements I have in place and will always try to encrypt what the user enters. Any help would be much appreciated!
characters = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890 !?.`~#$£%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:<>,/"
translated = ""
print("Welcome to Krypto! ")
decision = input("What would you like to do today? (encrypt, decrypt, info) ")
message = input("Please enter the text you would like to manipulate: ")
if decision == 'encrypt' or 'Encrypt':
print ("Encrypt selected")
#encryption begins
elif decision == 'decrypt' or 'Decrypt':
print("Decrypt selected")
#decryption begins

or 'Encrypt'
This is always True

I have looked over the answers given on other questions. But they are not making any sense to me sorry. I have a notepad document that I want to check to see if the name that you give the program is in the document and if it is. it says hello and let you access the program and lets you do stuff. If your name is not it the program I want it to say that you do not have an account and ask you if you want to make an account and if you say yes then you give it your name and it adds it to the text document. The problem that I am having is that it does not see if your name is in the text document but when you print the names it gives you them and they look like this. 'Coryn\n' and I have no clue what this means. My code is down below.
def AI():
name = raw_input("Hello my name is Cora I am an artificial helper. What is your name? ")
yes1 = ""
name_list = list(open('r','\\\\ph-fss1\\Students\\S39055\\Desktop\\names.txt'))
for names in name_list:
if name in name_list:
print "Welcome back sir"
else:
yes1 = raw_input("You do not have an account do you wish to make one? yes/no ").lower()
if yes1 == "no":
break
if yes1 == "yes":
name('w',open('\\\\ph-fss1\\Students\\S39055\\Desktop\\names.txt'))

You need to split the lines to make them 'readable' for the AI. str.splitlines Docs

I am struggling with my python temperature unit converter [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Getting user input [duplicate]
(5 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
For a challenge I am tasked with creating a unit converter that can change the units. I chose degrees Celsius to Fahrenheit. I am quite new to Python. My problem is that I ask a question on the code e.g.
print("Enter Value: ")
How do I make it so that the value that a user enters becomes the variable f for Fahrenheit which can then be changed to Celsius so I can do this..
print((f - 32) / 1.8)
Can anyone help and explain it in a way a beginner can understand?

Assuming you're using Python3, what you need is:
temp=input("Temperature please?")
print((int(temp)-32)/1.8)
Also, please look up the docs Jacek linked to so that you understand what's really going on here.

Use input() function:
Input and Output Docs

temp = 0
# while loop
# wait until user set a input
while not temp:
# default type in input is "str"
user_input = input("Enter Value: ")
if user_input.isdigit():
temp = user_input
# we know every char is digit
print (((int(temp)-32)/1.8))

in this part of my code i have tried to ask the user and im using if else statements to validate it [duplicate]

import operator
import csv
question= input("Are you a student or teacher: ")
if question=="student" or "s" or "Student":
print("You are using the wrong program. Please use the arithmetic quiz")
elif question=="teacher" or "t" or "Teacher":
print("Hello and welcome to the program which lets you see your students' scores in the arithmetic quizes")
In this code I have tried to use if else statements, but it doesnt work.
I have already tried several ways to make it work but it doesnt.

You could check if the input is in a tuple:
question= input("Are you a student or teacher: ")
if question in ("student", "s", "Student"):
print("You are using the wrong program. Please use the arithmetic quiz")
elif question in ("teacher", "t", "Teacher"):
print("Hello and welcome to the program which lets you see your students' scores in the arithmetic quizes")
