Hello I am new in Python and maybe it is stupid question but can you help me with this code?
while True:
k = int(input("type: "))
l = k % 2
if l==0:
print("luwi")
elif l != 0:
print("kenti")
i want to add elif where is said that if k == "exit" code breaks how make system to read not only integers but strings as well?or it is impossible? P.s I am very new in python :D
I think you should be very careful with the datatype problem. You have to make sure that when k compare with an other variable they have the same datatype. Here are few functions that could change the data type. str(), int()
You would get an error with int(input("type: ")) when entering a non-numeric string.
Try:
while True:
s = input("type: ") # User inputs string
try:
k = int(s) # tries converting string to int (exception if unsuccessful)
l = k % 2
if l==0:
print("luwi")
elif l != 0:
print("kenti")
except: # exception tells you entry was not an integer
if s == "exit":
break # entered exit
else:
print('Enter a number or "exit"') # ask user to enter number or exit
How about checking for exit first, and then continuing to convert to int after that?
while True:
k = input("type: ")
if k == 'exit':
break
else:
k = int(k)
l = k % 2
if l == 0:
print("luwi")
elif l != 0:
print("kenti")
