help me pls

[umbral cypress]

remove parentheses around glock

[median lark]

im new

can u send the symbol

so i know what it is

cuz im kinda confused

is it ()?

[umbral cypress]

u see the ( and ) around "Glock"? delete them

[median lark]

offfff

ohhhhhh

i see

im stupid

thank you

im gonna post some more problems here prob

do u mind if i ping u when i do?

[umbral cypress]

no ping, just post

[median lark]

kk

[tough gazelle]

the () shouldn't affect it

[median lark]

yea i just checked

did nothing

[tough gazelle]

are you typing glock or Glock for the input?

Strings are case sensitive

glock and Glock will not be equal

[median lark]

im trying Glock

i do Glock

like what it says

[tough gazelle]

how are you running this? Can you show us a screenshot of your test?

[median lark]

heres a ss

thonny

cuz thats what my school uses

[tough gazelle]

I haven't used it, but it looks like you might be typing a space before you type Glock?

[median lark]

what do u use

[tough gazelle]

I use sublime or pycharm, but it shouldn't matter for this

are you typing a space before you type Glock?

[median lark]

IT WORKS

THANK YOU SO MUCH

i was in lesson tryna do it for 1h

my friend was confused

thx bro

[tough gazelle]

np!

[median lark]

do u mind if i ping u if i have more problems??

or do i just need to post

yo how i fix this cuz i tried some things i search up online but still nothing

[silent marsh]

you're not using input for the second question

[median lark]

??

i just started so i dont understand

@silent marsh can you please explain??

[sweet timber]

Try inputting "installments" when running the program, and you'll see what they mean.

[median lark]

i need to string the text

but idk how

[silent marsh]

you use input(...) (like in your first line), whenever you want to have the user type something

and store it in a variable

[sweet timber]

After the first if statement, ask for another input.

[median lark]

ohhh i see

wait what

theres another input

[sweet timber]

buy_gun = False
i = input("What gun do you want to buy today?")
if i == "Glock":
  print("That will be £50.")
  buy_gun = True
else:
  print("I'm sorry. We don't have that gun here.")
if buy_gun:
  i = input("Do you want to do installments or pay it all at once?")

Here's one way to go about doing something similar.

First, we create a variable called buy_gun.

This will tell the program whether the user wants to buy a gun.

Then, the program will ask the user to input what gun they want to buy.

If they input "Glock," they will get told the price, and buy_gun will be set to true.

[median lark]

kk

[sweet timber]

Then, when buy_gun is true, it will ask if they want to do installments or not.

[median lark]

kk

i understand

can u like explain how u did it tho

i see the code

but i dont understand what u did

[sweet timber]

Sure.

[median lark]

kk thank you

[sweet timber]

The first line declares a boolean variable.

[median lark]

no clue waht a boolean variable is but okay

i will go onto google

[sweet timber]

It's a variable that's either true or false.

[median lark]

ohh

i see

i understand waht a boolean variable is now

[sweet timber]

We're going to use it to see if the user is buying a valid gun.

Next, we ask for the input and save it to i.

[median lark]

kk

[sweet timber]

After that, we enter into an if-else statement.

Do you understand how those work? I see you know what an if statement is, but I want to make sure since you seem like a beginner.

[median lark]

i do

my friend told me what if statements are

im guessing if-else is like a if this is true this happens if this is false this happens

[sweet timber]

That's right!

[median lark]

yippiee!!

[sweet timber]

Basically, the if-else statement will first check if the input is "Glock." If it's indeed "Glock," it will print a message and set buy_gun to True.

[sweet timber]

But if it's not that, it'll give a different response, and buy_gun remains false.

[median lark]

i see

[sweet timber]

Finally, we enter one last if statement.

If buy_gun is true, it'll ask for the user's input again.

@median lark, would you like to see something a bit more advanced? It would be a pretty good alternative if you plan on having multiple types of guns.

[median lark]

i think i might try it by myself

but if i need help i will dm u

but thanks for the offer

i learned alot
