yeah

lethal hatch Apr 15, 2024, 7:11 AM

#

latent dragon U keen on python

ofc

latent dragon Apr 15, 2024, 7:11 AM

#

I've been on cialis for 3 years

lethal hatch Apr 15, 2024, 7:12 AM

#

so let's say i input incendio
what is supposed to happen

latent dragon Apr 15, 2024, 7:12 AM

#

if u spell it correctly.

lethal hatch Apr 15, 2024, 7:13 AM

#

then 15 dmg to tom?

latent dragon Apr 15, 2024, 7:13 AM

#

milkaveli == k and tom riddle loses the associated value

#

yes

lethal hatch Apr 15, 2024, 7:13 AM

#

but the script under it runs with the if milkaveli

latent dragon Apr 15, 2024, 7:13 AM

#

default damage for not entering a key in the dictionary is 15

#

yikea

lethal hatch Apr 15, 2024, 7:13 AM

#

oh ok

latent dragon Apr 15, 2024, 7:13 AM

#

lethal hatch but the script under it runs with the if milkaveli

are u suggesting a reversal of the conditional?

#

or simply suggesting the second one should be elif

#

as they both relate to the overarching variable

#

for some reason its just taking away harry's last health points

lethal hatch Apr 15, 2024, 7:14 AM

#

wait the script works

#

i tested it

latent dragon Apr 15, 2024, 7:15 AM

#

also now i kinda want to watch the entire harry potter saga

#

but you have legion's ayree disease

#

@lethal hatch It only works for expellarmius

#

which means we aren't getting to iterate through the k, v pairs in the dictionary

lethal hatch Apr 15, 2024, 7:16 AM

#

when I put incendio, tom's hp is 85

latent dragon Apr 15, 2024, 7:16 AM

#

maybe the function isn't getting the values and i should pull the dicitonary into the definition

#

that's good

#

when i put I get zero

#

ask_prof_pooper(15,100)

#

this is my call ^

#

it works now...

#

wait nvm

#

its broken

#

HAhaha

#

let's justlook at the basic code

#

harry_spell = input('Cast a spell! ') # Ask Harry to type in a spell
if harry_spell.lower() in spells: # check if the spell typed(in lower case because of case insensitive) is in the dictionary
voldemort -= spells[harry_spell.lower()] # if so, HP of Voldemort decrease by the damage
