i too am none the wiser after looking at your site:

The flowchart reveals nothing either.

Beginner trying to understand functions.

[simonh]

In my attempt to learn Python I'm writing a small (useless) program to
help me understand the various concepts. I'm going to add to this as I
learn to serve as a single place to see how something works,
hopefully. Here is the first approach:



name = input('Please enter your name: ')
print('Hello', name)

while True:
try:
age = int(input('Please enter your age: '))
break
except ValueError:
print('That was not a valid number. Please try again.')

permitted = list(range(18, 31))

if age in permitted:
print('Come on in!')
elif age < min(permitted):
print('Sorry, too young.')
elif age > max(permitted):
print('Sorry, too old.')

input('Press any key to exit.')



That works fine. Then I've tried to use functions instead. The first
two work fine, the third fails:



def getName():
name = input('Please enter your name: ')
print('Hello', name)

def getAge():
while True:
try:
age = int(input('Please enter your age: '))
break
except ValueError:
print('That was not a valid number. Please try again.')

def checkAge():
permitted = list(range(18, 31))
if age in permitted:
print('Come on in!')
elif age < min(permitted):
print('Sorry, too young.')
elif age > max(permitted):
print('Sorry, too old.')

getName()
getAge()
checkAge()

I get this error message: NameError: global name 'age' is not
defined.

I'm stuck, can someone help? Thanks.

Thanks for the many replies. Thanks especially to Pierre. This works
perfectly:

def getName():
name = input('Please enter your name: ')
print('Hello', name)

def getAge():
while True:
try:
age = int(input('Please enter your age: '))
return age

except ValueError:
print('That was not a valid number. Please try again.')

def checkAge(age,min=18,max=31):
if age in list(range(min, max)):
print('Come on in!')
elif age < min:
print('Sorry, too young.')
elif age >= max:
print('Sorry, too old.')

getName()
a = getAge()
checkAge(a)


I am running Python 3, sorry for not stating that originally.

Re: Beginner trying to understand functions.

[simonh]

Thanks for the extra tips Ivan and Bruno. Here is how the program
looks now. Any problems?



import sys

def get_name():
name = input('Please enter your name: ')
print('Hello', name)

def get_age():
try:
return int(input('Please enter your age: '))
except ValueError:
print('That was not a valid number. Please try again.')
return get_age()

def check_age(age,min=18,max=31):
if age < min:
print('Sorry, too young.')
elif age >= max:
print('Sorry, too old.')
else:
print('Come on in!')

def again():
response = input('Try again? Y or N: ')
while response != "Y":
if response == 'N':
print('Program finished.')
input('Press any key to exit.')
sys.exit()
else:
return response
run()

def run():
get_name()
a = get_age()
check_age(a)
again()

run()

#python IRC help - my internet provider is banned!

[simonh]

Hi. Not sure if anyone can help here, but I'm trying to access #python
and have found out that my ISP has a blanket ban (for some reason).
Does anyone know how I can contact an operator to join? Thanks.
