can someone tell me how i would fix this

from pathlib import Path

def is_txt_file(path_to_file):
    t_or_f = 4
    file_path = Path(path_to_file)

    if file_path.suffix == ".txt":
        t_or_f = 1

    elif file_path.suffix is None:
        print(file_path.suffix)
        t_or_f = 2
      
    elif file_path.suffix is not None:
        print(file_path.suffix)
        t_or_f = 3
    else:
        print("error in code 1")

    return t_or_f

main_input = input("")

t_or_f = is_txt_file(Path(main_input))
if t_or_f == 1:
    print("file is txt")  

elif t_or_f == 2:
    print("file is value less")  

elif t_or_f == 3:
    print("error in code 2")

elif t_or_f == 4:
    print("error in code 3")

waht is the errorr

[worn gorge]

elif file_path.suffix is None:
elif file_path.suffix is not None:

if the file type is wrong or not there it returns the same value of file_path.suffix is not None:

[blazing crest]

i think it works fine

[worn gorge]

then run it and put a path to a file thats a txt file and in the input put some file type or remove it

oh and the file doesnt even need to exist

[blazing crest]

letme rephrase what i think your code does

in main func:
you enter a file path

is_txt_file is called on the path:
if path ends with ".txt "
value is set 1

if path ends with nothing
value is 2

if path ends with something other than .txt
value is 3

[worn gorge]

yep

well i gtg just tell me how to fix it if you know ill look later thanks for the help

[blazing crest]

what to fix

what do you want changed

[worn gorge]

to make the code work

[blazing crest]

lmao

ok ill try

[worn gorge]

ok thanks

[blazing crest]

from pathlib import Path


def is_txt_file(path_to_file):
    t_or_f = 4
    file_path = Path(path_to_file)

    val = file_path.suffix

    if val == ".txt":
        t_or_f = 1

    elif val == '':
        print(file_path.suffix)
        t_or_f = 2

    elif len(val) > 0:
        print(file_path.suffix)
        t_or_f = 3
    else:
        print("error in code 1")

    return t_or_f


main_input = input("Input : ")

t_or_f = is_txt_file(Path(main_input))
if t_or_f == 1:
    print("file is txt")

elif t_or_f == 2:
    print("file is value less")

elif t_or_f == 3:
    print("error in code 2")

elif t_or_f == 4:
    print("error in code 3")

your code doesnt work because when you call .suffix method it returns an empty string when there is no extension

so there is a string(not none)

here i check if the length of string is 0

[worn gorge]

Oh I didn't think about doing that thanks

[worn gorge]

And I didn't know it returned an empty string

[blazing crest]

Happens

Anything else brother?

[worn gorge]

No but thanks for the help have a nice day

[blazing crest]

Haave a nice day
