hello, i am having some issues with this if statement and was wondering if anyone would help me out, heres what i want the code to do and whats not working

ask "how many games is the pennant you are playing?", the answer will either be 10 or 20. (this part works just fine)
put that number in the For i in range, parentheses and loop that many times (this may or may not work, i havent gotten that far yet)
if a 10 is input, execute the first set of code, if a 20 is input, execute the second.

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.

i dont understand everything about coding so if you dont understand something its probably my fault

You used int to make game_number an integer, but in the if conditions, you're comparing that integer to a string ("10"), and an integer will never equal a string.

#

so i need the IF conditions to look for an integer?

vague rock Dec 31, 2024, 2:52 AM

#

Yes.

#

how might i do that?

vague rock Dec 31, 2024, 2:53 AM

#

Well, "10" is a string, 10 is an integer.

#

The quotes indicate that it's text

cerulean wyvern Dec 31, 2024, 2:53 AM

#

so just remove the quotes?

vague rock Dec 31, 2024, 2:53 AM

#

Yes

You're welcome. Do you understand what the problem was?

cerulean wyvern Dec 31, 2024, 2:57 AM

#

yes, I was giving it a string instead of a integer

vague rock Dec 31, 2024, 2:58 AM

#

Yep
