Stuck at 36th exercise of Learn Python the Hard Way [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to test multiple variables for equality against a single value?
(31 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
This is the code I have written for Learn Python the Hard Way exercise 36. But I am not able to run the code in the door_1 function. If I choose 3 as an option and then left or right anything which is then stored in dir, the output is "lion ate you", no matter what I type.
from sys import exit #importing module from lib
def Tadaa():
print "This is a place where you will get a surprise"
next = int(raw_input("Enter any number from 1-10 :"))
if next <= 10:
if next % 2 == 0 :
print "You will be buying me a shake :)."
else :
print "You will be getting a shake by me."
else :
print "Do it correctly."
def door_1():
print "There are 3 doors . Choose any door from the the remaining three doors"
print "Lets hope for the best "
next = raw_input("Enter your option :")
if next == "1":
print "abc "
elif next == "2":
print "abc"
elif next == "3":
print "You have entered 3rd door ."
print "Here are 2 doors one on left and one on right."
dir = raw_input("Choose which door do you wnat to enter :")
if dir == "left" or "Left":
print "Lion ate you . You are dead ."
elif dir == "right" or "Right" :
print "You will be getting a surprise"
Tadaa()
else :
print "abc"
else :
print "abc"
def door_2():
print "There are two doors A and B which will decide your fate"
next = raw_input("Enter the door ")
if next == "A" or "a":
door_1()
elif next == "B" or "b":
print "You are back from where you have started"
start()
else :
print "I got no idea what that means."
exit(0)
def start():
print "You are in dark room"
print "There is a door to your right and left ."
print "Which one do you take"
next = raw_input("> ")
if next == "Right" or "right":
door_2()
elif next == "Left" or "left":
door_1()
else :
print "abc"
start()

The problem is your statement:
if dir=="left" or "Left":
What you want is
if dir=="left" or dir=="Left":
In effect, what just doing or "Left" is doing, is checking whether a string that you've just created exists or not. Put another way, its similar to:
x='Left'
if x:
X does exist, so if X is True.
The crux here is to always evaluate statements in quantum, and when you're using and in conjunction with or statements, make sure you use brackets to be explicit. if statement_one or statement_two.

If returning wrong answer (python)

I am working through the "Learn python the hardway." I apologize if this is a duplicate but I really can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. When I enter anything less than 50 it tells me to try again, and upon the second time calls a string in another function. If I enter something greater than 50 same thing on the second entry it calls another string in another function. it will call from green_dragon() and print "Both dragons cook you alive and eat you." Thank you for any insight you are able to offer. I apologize for the simplicity, lol. Had to make my own "game and I'm not that creative yet, lol.
def gold_room():
print "You have entered a large room filled with gold."
print "How many pieces of this gold are you going to try and take?"
choice = raw_input("> ")
how_much = int(choice)
too_much = False
while True:
if how_much <= 50 and too_much:
print "Nice! you're not too greedy!"
print "Enjoy the gold you lucky S.O.B!"
exit("Bye!")
elif how_much > 50 and not too_much:
print "You greedy MFKR!"
print "Angered by your greed,"
print "the dragons roar and scare you into taking less."
else:
print "Try again!"
return how_much
def green_dragon():
print "You approach the green dragon."
print "It looks at you warily."
print "What do you do?"
wrong_ans = False
while True:
choice = raw_input("> ")
if choice == "yell at dragon" and wrong_ans:
dead("The Green Dragon incinerates you with it's fire breath!")
elif choice == "approach slowly" and not wrong_ans:
print "It shows you its chained collar."
elif choice == "remove collar"and not wrong_ans:
print "The dragon thanks you by showing you into a new room."
gold_room()
else:
print "Both dragons cook you alive and eat you."
exit()

too_much = False
if <= 50 and too_much
if too_much is set to False, why do you expect the if expression to evaluate to true ? It will never go inside the if.
Move user input inside loop as well.
EDIT:
To stop your while loop:
too_much = True
while too_much:
choice = raw_input("> ")
how_much = int(choice)
if how_much <= 50:
print "Nice! you're not too greedy!"
print "Enjoy the gold you lucky S.O.B!"
too_much = False
else:
print "You greedy MFKR!"
print "Angered by your greed,"
print "the dragons roar and scare you into taking less."

Defining functions in python - code block wont run

I'm been having a lot of trouble properly using functions in python. Im a beginner so I'm creating this kinda maze like game, and want to use functions so that a user can return to previous locations if they choose to. The problem is that all the code after the "def sec2():" does not run, and it totally skips over this block of code. So if the user were to run the program and choose left, the program finishes with "Ah, nevermind, remember those numbers," never prompting the user with anything or printing anything from sec2. I believe my problems could be occurring with indentation. If anyone has any idea as to why the code under my functions isn't executing please let me know! Many thanks!
print ("********")
print ("Hey there soldier. This is General Chris.")
print ("I understand you are in quite the situation!")
print ("Just 4 hours ago, your patrol was ambushed by ISIS...You may not rememeber much after being knocked unconscious!")
name = input('Whats your name, soldier?')
print ("********")
print ("Alright, here's the deal",name)
print ("You are now being held hostage in an encampment near Soran, Iraq.")
print ("Unfortunately for you, our hackers have recieved intel that your captors plan on executing you in just two hours.")
print ("You dont have long to make your escape! Get moving fast!")
def sec1():
print ("********")
print ("You have two doors in front of you. Do you choose the door on the left or right?")
room1 = input('Type L or R and hit Enter.')
if room1 == "L":
print ("********")
print ("Good choice",name)
print ("Whats this? A slip of paper says '8642' on it...Could it mean something?")
print ("Ah, nevermind! Remember those numbers!")
def sec2():
print ("********")
print ("Now you have a choice between crawling into the cieling, or using the door!")
room2 = input('Type C for cieling or D for door, and hit Enter!')
if room2 == "C":
print ("********")
print ("Sure is dark up here in the ducts!")
print ("Stay quiet, and move very slowly.")
def ductoptionroom():
print ("Do you want to continue into the ducts or retreat?")
ductoption = input('Type C or R and hit Enter!')
if ductoption == "C":
print ("You are continuing into the ducts!")
elif ductoption == "R":
sec2()
else:
print ("Focus on the mission!")
elif room2 == "D":
print ("********")
print ("You slowly turn the door knob and see a guard standing there...He doesnt notice you!")
print ("Look, theres a piece of rope on the ground! You could use this to strangle the guard!")
def guardkillroom():
print ("Do you want to try and kill the guard so you can continue on your escape?")
guardkill = input ('Type K for kill or R for retreat and hit Enter!')
if guardkill == "K":
print ("********")
print ("You sneak behind the unsuspecting guard and quickly pull the rope over his neck!")
print ("You've strangled the guard! Now you can continue on your mission!")
elif guardkill == "R":
guardkillroom()
else:
print ("We dont have all day!")
guardkillroom()
else:
print ("Focus soldier!")
room2()
elif room1 == "R":
print ("********")
print ("Uh oh. Two guards are in this room. This seems dangerous.")
print ("Do you want to retreat or coninue?")
roomr = input('Type R or C and hit enter.')
if roomr == "R":
print ("********")
print ("Good choice!")
sec1()
elif roomr == "C":
print ("********")
print ("You continue and are spotted by a guard.")
print ("***MIISSION FAILED***")
def gameover1():
print ("Do you want to retry?")
retry1 = input("Type Y or N and hit enter!")
if retry1 == "Y":
sec1()
elif retry1 == "N":
print ("********")
print ("Thanks for playing!")
else:
gameover1()
sec1()

It looks like you only ever define sec2 and you never actually call it. When you do something like def myfunc() it just tells python what should happen when that function is called. The code will never actually be ran until you run myfunc() from somewhere else in the code. And the only place sec2 is called is recursively from within sec2 (if the player decides to retreat from the ducts)
So to use sec2 you need to call it from somewhere else within sec1
I'm not sure where that should be based upon a quick reading of the game but for testing you could do something like the following
print ("Ah, nevermind! Remember those numbers!")
def sec2():
....
elif room2 == "D":
sec2()
Additionally since sec2 is defined inside of sec1 that means sec2 can only ever be called inside of sec1 as well. I suspect that was not what was intended (though I could be wrong). To fix that you could do the following
def sec2():
...
def sec1():
... #All the same code as before except for the sec2 definition
sec1()

How do I move to different parts of code in this game/story

After the initial question of how much do you take, it works fine. If you type 0 you die, 5 million it says nice take. After it says nice take, it exits the program and forgets the rest of the code.
How do I get python to load the next part of the code and run it.
from sys import exit
def bank_vault():
print "This room is full of money up to 5 million dollars. How much do you take?"
choice = raw_input("> ")
if "0" in choice:
dead("You are robbing a bank and took nothing... The cops shot you in the face.")
how_much = int(choice)
if how_much < 5000000:
print "Nice take, now you have to escape!"
escape_route()
def escape_route():
print "There are cops blocking the front door."
print "There are cops blocking the back door."
print "There is no way to get out of there."
print "You see a small opening on the ceiling."
print "Type ceiling to go through it."
print "Or type stay to try your luck."
escaped_cops = False
while True:
choice = raw_input("> ")
if choice == "stay":
dead("Your bank robbing friends left your stupid ass and the cops shot you in the face. Idiot move dipshit.")
elif choice == "ceiling" and not escaped_cops:
print "You escaped! Now wash that money and don't go to prison."
escaped_cops = True
def dead(why):
print why, ""
exit(0)
bank_vault()

Cool game. I love games and would like to try to improve your code. Code below works on Python 3. It should work on Python 2:
from sys import exit
try: input = raw_input # To make it work both in Python 2 and 3
except NameError: pass
def bank_vault():
print("This room is full of money up to 5 million dollars. How much do you take?")
how_much = int(input("> ")) # Why not eliminate choice variable here?
if how_much == 0:
dead("You are robbing a bank and took nothing... The cops shot you in the face.")
elif how_much < 5000000: # Changed to else condition
print("Nice take, now you have to escape!")
else: # Added a check
dead("There isn't that much!")
def escape_route():
print("There are cops blocking the front door.")
print("There are cops blocking the back door.")
print("There is no way to get out of there.")
print("You see a small opening on the ceiling.")
print("Type ceiling to go through it.")
print("Or type stay to try your luck.")
escaped_cops = False
while not escaped_cops:
choice = input("> ")
if choice == "stay":
dead("Your bank robbing friends left your stupid ass and the cops shot you in the face. Idiot move dipshit.")
elif choice == "ceiling":
print("You escaped! Now wash that money and don't go to prison.")
escaped_cops = True
def dead(why):
print(why)
exit(0)
bank_vault()
escape_route()

You have to call the function escape_route rather than exit.
Also, when checking for choice you call dead no matter what.
In reply to your comment:
You need to check if it's 0 then call dead, if it's not 0 don't bother with the else, go directly to the if how_much < 5000000 and call escape_route
You need to try and convert the input to an int if it isn't 0!
And what happens if they take more than 5 mil?

Any ideas?

The problem is arising due to
variable scope
You can check this question as well to clear your doubt regarding global or local scope:-
Python global/local variables
The variable
has_dynamite
is defined only inside the
start()
function. Therefore, it has only a local scope, to make it global define has_dynamite outside any functions and write your functions like this
def start():
global has_dynamite
Do this for all of the functions which use has_dynamite variable.
You can also pass the has_dynamite variable as a parameter to the function. ie instead of typing the above mentioned code, you can type
start(has_dynamite)
while calling the function, but be sure you include this parameter in the function definition also, otherwise it will show you an error
Here is the corrected code:-

has_dynamite = True
