[sudden oasis]

What do you need help with?

[nimble trout]

temp = float(input("What is the current temperature?: "))

[sudden oasis]

Looks good to me

[warm perch]

what's wrong with this line?

[nimble trout]

i was wondering if it was a good start to the question

the prompt above

[sudden oasis]

Yes

he's on call getting help

[nimble trout]

I need to use while loops

but for context

we did not do functions

temp = float(input("What is the current temperature?: "))
while True:

[hazy isle]

\n

[nimble trout]

print("The temperature is too high! Turn down the vat's temperature, wait 5 minutes, and check

[hazy isle]

print("The temperature is too high! \n Turn down the vat's temperature, wait 5 minutes, and check")

After this print

        print("""The temperature is too high! Turn down the vat's temperature,
        wait 5 minutes, and then check the temperature again.""")

Delete the rest

Then use time.sleep()

I forget if its in seconds or milliseconds

be sure to import time at the top

[toxic anchor]

But whatever its unit is, make sure it is 5 minutes

[hybrid wave]

time.sleep() is seconds. Same as time.time() returns. It accepts floats, so you can sleep for less than a second if required.

[nimble trout]

We never did this in class 😭

No import, no function

[hybrid wave]

There's an unbounded amount of things you won't yet have done. Same for us.

But if you can't use this for the class, just assume the user using your script will just wait themselves, and only enter a new value at the input() when they're ready.

[toxic anchor]

Then ask your teacher, how to make the script "wait" for 5 or 15 minutes?
