I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong. I have tried everything.
This is what it is supposed to do:
(1) Prompt the user for a title for data. Output the title. (1 pt)
Ex:
Enter a title for the data:
Number of Novels Authored
You entered: Number of Novels Authored
[snip]
Here is my code:
data_title = input("Enter a title for the data:\n")
print("You entered:", data_title)
h1 = input("\nEnter the column 1 header:\n")
print("You entered:", h1)
h2 = input("\nEnter the column 2 header:\n")
print("You entered:", h2)
point = input("\nEnter a data point (-1 to stop input):\n")
data = []
while point != "-1":
words = point.split(",")
if len(words) == 1:
print("Error: No comma in string.")
elif len(words) > 2:
print("Error: Too many commas in input. ")
else:
try:
author = words[0]
num_novels = int(words[1])
print("Author:", author)
print("Number of Novel(s):", num_novels)
data.append((author, num_novels))
except ValueError:
print("Error: Comma not followed by an integer.")
point = input("\nEnter a data point (-1 to stop input):\n")
print("%33s" % data_title)
print("%-20s|%23s" % (h1, h2))
print("-" * 44)
for item in data:
print("%-20s|%23d" % (item[0], item[1]))
for item in data:
print("%20s %s" % (item[0], '*' * item[1]))
I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 1, in <module>
data_title = input("Enter a title for the data:\n")
EOFError: EOF when reading a line
And can't seem to figure out how to correct it any help would be greatly
appreciated.
How are you running it? At a system prompt with:
py main.py
or similar?
