Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

when the input for grade is a letter 'z' for example, no error gets raised

[sullen spade]

Pls share code like this:

!code

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

well, the code above was made to use 0 when the grade letter was unrecognized

so why is that unexpected?

[vital mesa]

i thought that if letter wasnt matched, a error would be raised?

[sullen spade]

For that you'll need to write

return grade_score[grade.upper()]```

your .get function returns a zero if the value isn't found, ValueError is never raised

[vital mesa]

ohhh, thank you very much guys !

[sullen spade]

No problem, just please share code as text next time, not a picture, so we can paste in into an IDE

Issues like this one are quickly caught by a good type checker like mypy, this will save us a lot of time on helping

[vital mesa]

i tried, but the bot said file was not accepted :((

[sullen spade]

type three backticks and "py" in discord, copy your code and paste it, type three more backticks, press enter

print("like that")

[vital mesa]

there were too many lines , so i tried using https://paste.pythondiscord.com/OIWQ
but i couldnt figure out how to send a accepted file

could you help me such that next time i would know how to use it haha, thanks

[sullen spade]

Well, i just pasted your code into the window, clicked paste and everything works

Maybe there was a bug or something

[vocal plume]

what do you suppose the 0 argument was there for?

[vital mesa]

now that i think about it, i overlooked the '0' thinking that that would raise an error , my bad

thank you to the both of you guys for your time

[sullen spade]

No problem!
