Python help channel opened

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.

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.

stiff ice Dec 30, 2024, 5:58 PM

#

And what's your question?

leaden helm Dec 30, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

I get an error message when I try and run it

#

let me try and run it again

#

forgot what error message it was

#

TypeError List indices must be intergers or slices not str on ""if answer == questions["answer"]:""

stiff ice Dec 30, 2024, 6:02 PM

#

I'm assuming you meant question["answer"]?

leaden helm Dec 30, 2024, 6:03 PM

#

also how do I do the paste thing

stiff ice Dec 30, 2024, 6:03 PM

#

!paste

ruby ploverBOT Dec 30, 2024, 6:03 PM

#

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

Did you try the suggestion I made above?

And post all code and errors as text.

TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str
Questions & Answers.py, line 28
Python was asked to do an operation with an object which doesn't support it.
Did you expect another type?
Step through your program to see why this type appears here.
Maybe you forgot some details about this operation?
Look up the documentation or perform a web search with the error message.

Warnings
May help you find the cause of the error.

I feel like a damn idiot

#

been like forever since I've done Python

leaden helm Dec 30, 2024, 6:10 PM

#

stiff ice I'm assuming you meant `question["answer"]`?

I've tried that

#

And it didn't work

stiff ice Dec 30, 2024, 6:11 PM

#

Well, it would work. That would fix at least one problem. What's the traceback of the new error?

#

The screenshot you sent still has the problem.

leaden helm Dec 30, 2024, 6:13 PM

#

I'm sorry I'm not much of a programmer like I was back in HS

#

File "C:\Users\brown\PycharmProjects\PythonProject\Questions & Answers.py", line 31, in run_quiz
answer += 1
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

stiff ice Dec 30, 2024, 6:16 PM

#

answer is a string (text).

#

It's the user's guess.

#

Why are you adding 1 to it?

leaden helm Dec 30, 2024, 6:17 PM

#

Was trying to do a small project a simple one Q&A game

#

But I guess I'm still a relearner

stiff ice Dec 30, 2024, 6:18 PM

#

Yes, but think about that line carefully. Why add 1 to the user's guess? What is your intent with that line?

leaden helm Dec 30, 2024, 6:18 PM

#

It's a point system

#

Wait

stiff ice Dec 30, 2024, 6:20 PM

#

No. Is answer holding the points?

leaden helm Dec 30, 2024, 6:21 PM

#

No

stiff ice Dec 30, 2024, 6:21 PM

#

So, if it's not holding the points, why are you adding points to it? What is holding the points?

leaden helm Dec 30, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

Wait my smooth brain isn't corporating this morning

#

It is holding points

stiff ice Dec 30, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

answer is holding the user's guess.

leaden helm Dec 30, 2024, 6:23 PM

#

I'm definitely not a morning person nor a smart programmer

#

Gimme some time

stiff ice Dec 30, 2024, 6:24 PM

#

You just don't appear to be thinking the code through. Look at what variables you have and think about what their purposes are.

There you go. The answer == 1 is useless, but the score += 1 looks correct.

it still going to fail if you give lower case option so change instance type or capitalize

if you ask AI , it will fix and give better solution (in this case)

btw do not give \n a normal print has that default
