🔒 Not Reading Input?

[rotund jungle]

When I put in f,p,s it doesn't read it I know it's a beginner mistake because I was able to do it before but I can't remember how

Hey @rotund jungle!

It looks like you pasted Python code without syntax highlighting.

Please use syntax highlighting to improve the legibility of your code and make it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

while game == 1:
    print('Name: ',name)
    print('Money: ',money)
    menu = input('\n|S For Shop|\n|F For Farm|\n|P For Prestige|\n|:| ').lower
    if menu == 'f':
        harvest = input("H For Harvest B For Back: ")
    elif menu == 's':
        print('shop')
    elif menu == 'p':
        print('prestige')
    else:
        print('Please Input S,P,F')
        print(menu)

oh okay

[steep laurel]

on the top of my head

I think lower is a function, not a variable

!d input

[tropic condor]

input

input()``````py

input(prompt)```
If the *prompt* argument is present, it is written to standard output without a trailing newline. The function then reads a line from input, converts it to a string (stripping a trailing newline), and returns that. When EOF is read, [`EOFError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#EOFError) is raised. Example:

```py
>>> s = input('--> ')  
--> Monty Python's Flying Circus
>>> s  
"Monty Python's Flying Circus"
```  If the [`readline`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/readline.html#module-readline) module was loaded, then [`input()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#input) will use it to provide elaborate line editing and history features.

Raises an [auditing event](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#auditing) `builtins.input` with argument `prompt` before reading input...

Similar names: 2to3fixer.input, rich.input

This is what u want where u ask for f p or s right?

!e

str = "test".lower
print(str)
str = "test".lower()
print(str)
