[Tutor] Pease help
Hello I am a student trying to figure out this program. Here is my objective
and program below. What am I doing wrong? I can't get this to work.
Calculate the average pints of
blood donated during a blood drive. The
program should take in the number of pints donated during the drive, based on a
seven hour drive period. The average
pints donated during that period should be calculated and written to a
file. Write a loop around the program to
run multiple times. The data should be
appended to the file to keep track of multiple days. If the user wants to
print data from the
file, read it in and then display it.
Store the pints per hour and the average pints donated in a file called
blood.txt.
#the
main function
def
main():
endProgram = 'no'
print
while endProgram == 'no':
option = 0
print
print 'Enter 1 to enter in new data and
store to file'
print 'Enter 2 to display data from the
file'
option = input('Enter now -')
print
# declare variables
pints = [0] * 7
totalPints = 0
averagePints = 0
if option == 1:
# function calls
pints = getPints(pints)
totalPints = getTotal(pints, totalPints)
averagePints = getAverage(totalPints,
averagePints)
else:
endProgram = raw_input('Do you want to end
program? (Enter no or yes): ')
while not (endProgram == 'yes' or
endProgram == 'no'):
print 'Please enter a yes or no'
endProgram = raw_input('Do you want to
end program? (Enter no or yes): ')
#the
getPints function
def
getPints(pints):
counter = 0
while counter 7:
pints[counter] = input('Enter pints
collected: ')
counter = counter + 1
return pints
#the
getTotal function
def
getTotal(pints, totalPints):
counter = 0
while counter 7:
totalPints = totalPints + pints[counter]
counter = counter + 1
return totalPints
#the
getAverage function
def
getAverage(totalPints, averagePints):
averagePints = float(totalPints) / 7
return averagePints
#the
writeToFile function
def
writeToFile(averagePints, pints):
#the
readFromFile function
def readFromFile(averagePints, pints):
#
calls main
main()

number = input('Enter a number between 1 and 10: ')
while number 1 or number 10:
print 'Error'
number = input('Enter a number between 1 and 10: ')
endProgram = raw_input('Do you want to end program? (Enter no or yes): ')

Hello, I am a student trying to figure out Python. I am getting errors that I
don't know how to fix. What do you do after you get the error message and
something is highlighted? Does that have to be deleted? Anyway, here is what I
mean...
# The Dice Game
#add libraries needed
import random
#the main function
def main():
print
#initialize variables
playerOne = 'No Name'
playerTwo = 'No Name'
#call to inputNames
playerOne, playerTwo = inputNames(playerOne, playerTwo)
#while loop to run program again
while endProgram == 'no':
#initialize variables
winnersName = 'NO NAME'
p1number = 0
p2number = 0
#call to rollDice
winnerName = rollDice(p1number, p2number, playerOne, playerTwo, winnerName)
#call to displayInfo
winnerName
endProgram = raw_input('Do you want to end program? (Enter yes or no):
')
#this function gets the players names
def inputNames(playerOne, playerTwo):
playerOne = raw_input(Enter Name)
playerTwo = raw_input(Enter Name)
return playerOne, playerTwo
#this function will get the random values
def rollDice(p1numer, p2numer, playerOne, playerTwo, winnerName):

#this function displays the winner
if p1number == p2number:
winnerName = TIE
elif p1number p2number:
winnerName = playerOne
else:
winnerName = playerTwo
return winnerName
# calls main
main()
