Hi Everyone,
My first post here as I just begin to learn programming in general and
python in particular. I have all the noobie confused questions, but as I
work thru the tutorials I'm sure I'll find most my answers.
This one is eluding me tho... I am working in the tutorials, writing scripts
as presented and then modifying and expanding on my own to try to learn.
I'm working with one that asks the user to 'guess a number I'm thinking',
and with simple while loop, flow control and operands, returning an answer
to guess again or you got it. I've added a 'playagain' function I've got
working, but what I want is to stop the program from crashing when someone
enters a string value instead of a int value. I know strings are immutable,
and they can be changed to an int equivalent, but I just want the script to
recognize the input as a string and print a simple "that's not a number, try
again' type of message. I can't find the syntax to include in the
if/elif/else block to include a line that says something like,
elif guess == <string>
print "that's not a number! please guess again!"
I know that's not right, but can you see what I'm looking for and offer a
suggestion?
Thanks in advance all.
