Hello all, I have been struggling with this code for 3 hours now and I'm still
stumped. My problem is that when I run the following code:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#this function will get the total scores
def getScores(totalScores, number):
for counter in range(0, number):
score = input('Enter their score: ')
totalScores = totalScores + score
while not (score >= 0 and score <= 100):
print "Your score must be between 0 and 100."
score = input('Enter their score: ')
return totalScores
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the program is supposed to find the average of two test scores and if one of
the scores is out of the score range (0-100), an error message is displayed.
The main problem with this is that when someone types in a number outside of
the range, it'll ask them to enter two scores again, but ends up adding all of
the scores together (including the invalid ones) and dividing by how many there
are. Please help.
Basically what you want is:
repeat as many times as there are scores you want:
ask for the score
while it's invalid:
ask for it again
add it to the total
What you're actually doing is asking for the scores and adding them
_before_ checking. Don't include something before you've checked that
it's OK.
