file - Issue with code not running after user provides input -
i in first year of coding. writing program school having issues with. assignment create trivia game using files. code won't continue after ask user input determine how many points question asked worth. section of code problem posted directly below. entire program below in case needs see whole thing. record entire program not finished yet.
p.s new @ if missed obvious apologize.

for python2, input () may not work. use raw_input () if case. secondly, input string comparing integer. (1 0+1 or 2-1 "1" stick , "2" load of pixels swan swimming left. can either compare "200" or compare int(desired_value) 200. also, might want @ switch(),case,default or, since code identical in each case, associative array of min/max values:
randminmax = {200: {1,5}, 400: {5,9} ...} while true: #infinite loop - see 'break' below desired_input = int(raw_input) #might want try/catch in case of bad input if desired_input in randminmax: questionvalue=random.randint(randminmax [desired_input][0], randminmax [desired_input][0]) break; # break out of loop else: print 'please entre 1 of values' however, there quicker version in case since there fixed relationship between input value , random limits so:
limit = (desired_input / 200) - 1 # 0 4 inclusive if limit==int(limit) , limit < 5: # not, example, 215 limit = (limit * 4) + 1 # 1, 5, 9, 13, 17 questionvalue=random.randint(limit,math.min (limit+4, 20)) # because last limit 20, not 21 - hence math.min break; # got result, stop looping. a little more asked these principals should along learn code. luck , enjoy!
