🔒 im doing a discord bot that randomize some values and return a value

[primal leaf]

first of all, the values are in portugues, so if you dont understand the ' Seis olhos ' just think it as a random word that i want to be printed in discord, how do i set a bot to take a command and send my random code back to the user

• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

sorry if the code is messy, im learning python

[somber owl]

look into "guard-if", elif and dictionaries. this could help reduce a lot of the indentation and code in general.

!d elif

[small wadi]

elif

8.1. The if statement

The if statement is used for conditional execution:

if_stmt ::= "if" assignment_expression ":" suite
            ("elif" assignment_expression ":" suite)*
            ["else" ":" suite]
```...

👍

@somber owl hey.👋

[somber owl]

a quick way to do this using elif -

if x == 1:
   print(...)
elif x == 2:
   print(...)
elif x == 3:
   print(...)
...
```however, this is a bit tedious and repetitive

you could use a dictionary to map out each number to a corresponding string/text -
```py
mydict = {
   1: "Seis olhos",
   2: "Ilimitado",
   3: "Santuraio",
   ...
}

print( mydict.get(x, "Not Found!") )
```this simplifies things a lot!

but since it's still a bit repetitive, having the keys go from `1` to `10`.
you could still do a bit better!

it can be compressed and simplified even further.
utilizing `enumerate()` to count from 1; and `str.split()` to separate the data

mytext = """
Seis olhos
Ilimotado
Santuario
Transfiguraçāo
...
"""

data = mytext.split("\n")  # .splitlines()
```OR
```py
data = ["Seis olhos", "Ilimitado", ...]

then, simply index it. though it might confuse you with all that. so I'll stick to a dictionary.

mydict = dict( enumerate(data, start=1) )

print(mydict)
print( mydict.get(x, "Not Found!") )
```.

@primal leaf well, I'm jumping the gun a bit.

Have you learned about lists and dictionaries?

Do you know of OLL

[primal leaf]

no, not at all

[kindred lintel]

you should prolly get the basics of python down first then go to discord bots

[median scaffold]

not in help posts fyi

[rancid zephyr]

That code almost gave me a stroke please I beg u just use elif

[primal leaf]

sorry, this is literally my first code 😂

just making the code to run the randrange in discord now

🙏

i leaked my token 💀

[worthy osprey]

Hey!

Your idea is great

You're using randrange to pick a random power/skill.

But I think your current code has a few syntax issues that are totally normal when you're starting out.

[primal leaf]

like? i want the code to be the best as i can make it to ne! any hint is more than welcome

[worthy osprey]

Sure!

I've reviewd your code and I appreciate your creativity.

To make it the best it can be, I cleaned up the syntax and made it ready to run inside a Discord bot command

[agile quest]

one of which comes down to like what random mentioned above. there are more efficient and smaller ways to accomplish this but it would be of great value to learn the core concepts associated with them instead of just tossing in code you are given

especially since lists and dicts are very base level types that you will use a ton

[primal leaf]

i will see about that too, im doing some videos in youtube from "curso em video", idk about the quality of the videos

[agile quest]

There are a lot of good info in the resources note on this server for good sources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[worthy osprey]

I am willing to share the source code updated if you are interested in

[primal leaf]

sure im, can you send here for me to analyze it

[worthy osprey]

Okay

Just to clarify, I think you want a Discord bot that generates a random value from predefined list of Portuguese phrases

Am I right?

[primal leaf]

yeah

[worthy osprey]

Okay, I will send you the updated code.

random.choice

random.choice(seq)```
Return a random element from the non-empty sequence *seq*. If *seq* is empty, raises [`IndexError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#IndexError).

[worthy osprey]

I think it works well on your end

i

[kindred lintel]

pls do not sync in on_ready

and it doesn't seem like you installed discord

[worthy osprey]

I think you're probably right

[rancid zephyr]

That's better also u can use a disctionary and simplify this down to like 6 ish line

Oh nvm u did

Nice
