Your comparing int to a string

[misty ferry]

I just realised

😭

i accidentally deleted it so if other people are interested in my problem

[forest forge]

can you repost

[misty ferry]

i put the values as string

[wintry ore]

so if age == 0, the person is not a child?

[acoustic tundra]

Well if your age is 0 without any seconds of existence you technically don't exist

[main dragon]

Literally Korea

[misty ferry]

😂

i have another problem now

[forest forge]

what is it

[misty ferry]

using the following ages, 0 - 12 - 13 - 18 - 19 do not give me a print command

how would i fix this?

[forest forge]

can you send your code

oh

[main dragon]

We don't understand. If the ages are 0 or 12 or 13 or 18 or 19, don't print anything?

[forest forge]

are you supposed to be using "" ? those are used for strings no?

[lilac trout]

Aren't they not supposed to print (according to the if statement in the image)?

[misty ferry]

Let me send my script

[forest forge]

thanks

[lilac trout]

And also, make sure you're checking it with an int. if age > 0 etc.

[misty ferry]

the ages 0 - 12 - 13 - 18 and 19 do not give a print

[main dragon]

Not supposed to print?

[forest forge]

``age = int(input("Age: "))

if age >= 0 and age <=12:
print("Child is what you are")``

[lilac trout]

You don't need the .strip() btw

[misty ferry]

i want it to print

Oh!

[main dragon]

It is printing

[forest forge]

prints for me

[misty ferry]

huh

[forest forge]

using this

[lilac trout]

Your if statements specifically ignore those.

[main dragon]

Can you show how you're testing it?

[lilac trout]

0, 12, 13, 18 and 19 all fail to pass the if statements.

[forest forge]

use the <= >=

[lilac trout]

You might want to consider using <= or >=

[misty ferry]

this is the feedback i get

after writing 18

[misty ferry]

oh

[lilac trout]

Those check if it's less than or equal to and if it's greater than or equal to, respectively.

[misty ferry]

i got it to work thank you

i used <= and >=

[misty ferry]

oh

ohh okay

i understand now

ty

[lilac trout]

Using < or > is strictly less than and strictly greater than, so those few numbers wouldn't pass any of the statements.

[quaint ocean]

!e p.s you can chain comparisions to make it more readable like so

age = 8
print(0 <= age <= 12)

[ocean spear]

:white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

True

[misty ferry]

oh okay so it ignores the number i input

[lilac trout]

0 isn't > 0, but 0 is >= 0

So anything equal also passes

[wintry ore]

you could just check age <= 12

and skip the lower bound check

if someone enters a negative age, the joke's on them
