[main vapor]

I don’t know what’s wrong here, can someone explain what I should fix?

if statemtns not same level as age

put if , elifs back so its same level with variable age

[timid elbow]

Forgot the bracket

int(input())

[gusty mortar]

ye that too

[timid elbow]

Not int(input()

[deft coyote]

btw it's better to share your code as text and not an image

[main vapor]

def assignClassroom(age):
age = int(input(' Enter age: ')
if age> 24:
print('Infant room')
elif 24 >= age >= 36:
print('Toddler room')
elif 36 >= age >= 60:
print('Preschool room')
elif age > 60:
print('Kindergarten Prep room')

Oh

[gusty mortar]

u got the answers

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.

[gusty mortar]

age = 1
      if ... 
``` this doesnt work needs to be same level as age

if ....```

[vagrant maple]

and it will print Infant room always

if age> 24 it enters first if clause

[flat frigate]

code is executed from top to bottom – with that in mind, it shouldn't be hard to reason how this will work

[waxen kindle]

what if the age is, let's say, 50?

[main vapor]

So I’ll need to undo the indent right?

[vagrant maple]

prints Infant room

[waxen kindle]

(didn't ask you though, or are you OP? 😉 )

[flat frigate]

the indentation causes a syntax error but fixing it doesn't fix the logic flaw

[main vapor]

Alright

Wait I made a mistake, the age is supposed to be < 24

[flat frigate]

yeah

[main vapor]

def assignClassroom(age):
age = int(input('Enter age: '))
if age < 24:
print('Infant room')
if 24 >= age >= 36:
print('Toddler room')
if 36 >= age >= 60:
print('Preschool room')
if age > 60:
print('Kindergarten Prep room')

[oblique parrot]

Hey @main vapor!

Please edit your message to use a code block

```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```

[main vapor]

How's this?

[flat frigate]

1. make the latter branches elif 2) you don't have to test for the lower bound of the age

the last branch can be else: because age must be >60 anyway at that point

[vapid ivy]

Btw, the lack of closing parentheses and how the error looks like means this is Python 3.9 or lower - because error info for missing closing brackets was made better in 3.10 (https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html#syntaxerrors)

And 3.9 is the current oldest still supported version.

So this website uses either 3.9 or version that is no longer supported... For a "beta" website, that looks very bad.

[timid elbow]

Invalid rules

36 > 60 is not valid

[flat frigate]

I don't see 36 > 60 anywhere

it's 36 >= age >= 60

so 36 >= age and age >= 60

[vapid ivy]

... Actually, I decided to check the website and printed sys.version
3.8.5 (default, Jul 20 2020, 23:11:29) [GCC 9.3.0]

They use a version from 5 years ago, never updated to even patch bugs/security stuff. :x

[vapid ivy]

Darren means it's logical error, as age can't be higher than 60 and lower than 36 at the same time

[flat frigate]

well, I suggested to convert to elif branches anyway which would make this much easier to read

[main vapor]

It’s still not running 😩

[jade lark]

you can't have a condition after else

here's how conditions work:

if thing == othething:
  print("Hi")
elif thing >= 5:
  print("elif happened")
else:
  print("else happened")

[main vapor]

Ok no syntax error now

But strangely enough it won’t let me input anything

[proper olive]

run the function assignClassroom()

so for instance:

def assignClassroom(age):
age = int(input(' Enter age: '))
if age> 24:
print('Infant room')
elif 24 >= age >= 36:
print('Toddler room')
elif 36 >= age >= 60:
print('Preschool room')
elif age > 60:
print('Kindergarten Prep room')
userInput=int(input("age?:"))
assignClassroom(userInput)

[flat frigate]

you still don't need the lower bound checks

so elif age <= 36:

because at that point age can only be 24 or above anyway so you don't need to test for that again

[flat frigate]

why ask for the age twice?

[proper olive]

ah mb. i was just thinkng of using the function. afstest way would be removing line 1
