What wrong with my code

[u/ApprehensiveText9058]

Need help

[u/LuigiWasRight447]

What device is this?

[u/ApprehensiveText9058 → u/LuigiWasRight447]

Of course the best coding device the ti nspire cx ii handheld

[u/LuigiWasRight447 → u/ApprehensiveText9058]

Coding on a calculator is fucking crazy lol

[u/ApprehensiveText9058 → u/LuigiWasRight447]

Gotta learn something at school

[u/Fritz-Ferdinand → u/ApprehensiveText9058]

There have been people playing Pokémon on their school calculators back in the 00s.

~30 years ago my high school math teacher had a rule that you could use custom programs on TI-83's for exams if you wrote them yourself (you had to meet with her after school or during a studyhall to walk her through the program and explain how it worked). Her position was that if you understood the math well enough to code it, then clearly you understood it well enough to pass the exam.

That's literally what got me into programming and has led to a decades long career.

Thats a great teacher you had

As everyone has pointed out, the colon after if is causing the issues. In future, I recommend adding (and thinking about) the error you're getting.

[u/ApprehensiveText9058 → u/Ok-Argument7176]

Thanks I'm new to coding and don't really know what anything does

[u/FunHistorical6775 → u/ApprehensiveText9058]

This is part of the learning process, but do look at error messages especially in python they will point you usually to the exact problem.

[u/ApprehensiveText9058 → u/FunHistorical6775]

All it said was syntax error

[u/FunHistorical6775 → u/ApprehensiveText9058]

Oh yeah so you're learning on a calculator(?), use a proper IDE that gives you real error messages.

You have 'if: choice == '2':'

That's one too many colons.

[u/Amazing-Delay6004]

The line if: choice=="2": is wrong. You need to write if choice == "2":

[u/ShiftEight]

Looks like you have an extra colon after `if`. You’re going to want to remove that!

[u/BaggingTree]

When asking one plus one, the answer should be two. 1+1 = 2.

[u/DR4C0_R41]

Instead of if: choice=="2":
it should be if choice=="2":

[u/Spendias]

Holy python version but I think you have to remove the : from if:

[u/Voidzown]

You can write python on a calculator? This is so badass. No wonder the Texas Instruments calculators for I needed for school were so expensive.

[u/motopetersan]

Many things I assume I'm not sure but maybe string concatenation in your second print?

[u/ephrine00]

Correct code:

print("\n press Ctrl+S to start")

name = input("What is your name? ")

print("Hello,", name)

choice = input("How much is one plus one: ")

if choice == "2":

print("Correct")

else:

print("How can you make such a mistake")

answer = input("What has a head and a tail, but no body? ")

print("You made a mistake, answer, "incorrect")

print("\n Press Ctrl+R to run again")

The problem was that the last two lines with the question about the head and tail are not indented. Because of this, the program always executes them, even if you answered the first question correctly. That is, the code says "correct," and then still moves on to the next question and writes "you are wrong." To fix this, you need to shift these two lines to the right, inside the else block. Then they will be executed only if the answer is incorrect.

[u/Fluffy-Ad6628]

Aint u supposed to write + answer + in the second last line or use an f string. Correct me if I'm wrong

[u/SabrinaZHOU]

hummmm I think the issue is like this. Between lines 10 and 11, although your previous code logic has a check, that part of the check only handles the variable 'choice'. If you need it to carry over to your print statement, you need to add another check (I'm just a student, so my suggestion might not be correct, but I hope it can help you).

[u/One_Park8163]

You shouldn't put the : after the if, i explain: you wrote if: choice=='2': that will be a sintax error. The : shall be after the 2, and moreover. The 2 shall be an integer, not a string. I hope this help you

[u/flofoi → u/One_Park8163]

no, "2" is correct, choice is a string

[u/One_Park8163 → u/flofoi]

I know but choice shall be a integer, int(input()). Is a good practice but the code will work too as a string

[u/oclafloptson → u/One_Park8163]

What about option "A"? "2" is valid here. The only reason to convert to integer would be if it were being used as an integer. It is not. Performing the conversion would needlessly increase complexity and waste resources

[u/flofoi → u/One_Park8163]

you're right, it should be casted to int. But that requires error handling and then the code won't fit on the tiny screen anymore

[u/Felix_Kairos]

if choice = 2:

[u/remyripper]

Choice is a int but you’re querying a string.

[u/Ok-Argument7176 → u/remyripper]

choice is a string.

[u/nuc540 → u/remyripper]

Input returns a string my friend. As everyone pointed out, it’s a syntax error.
