Hello Python collective,
I am trying to wrap my head around what exactly is causing me
not to get any output or error message in the following code:
There are so many problems with this program it is hard to know where to
begin. Have you successfully run any other Python programs?
What operating system are you using?
What do you do to run the program?
Why no output? Simple. Here are the steps the program executes
start
import random
def main():
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
return chosen_letter
end
Please study the program till you understand what is happening. Then
figure out what to change.
#!/usr/bin/env python3.1
import random
def main():
def chosen_letter():
chosen_letter = Consonant()
chosen_letter = Vowel()
return chosen_letter
Consonant = random.choice( [B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P,
Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Z] )
Vowel = random.choice( [A, E, I, O, U, Y] )
print("Choose a letter"( Consonant, Vowel ))
print("You randomly chose"( Consonant, Vowel ))
if Consonant == ( "B C D F G H J K L M N P Q R S T V W X Z" ):
print("You randomly chose a Consonant")
else:
print("You randomly chose a Vowel")
if Consonant:
gameStatus = "CONTINUE"
elif Vowel == A or Vowel == E or Vowel == I or Vowel == O or
Vowel == U or Vowel == Y:
gameStatus = "FINISHED ALL VOWELS"
if gameStatus == "FINISHED ALL VOWELS":
print("FINISHED DISPLAYING ALL VOWELS")
else:
print("LOOKING FOR MORE VOWELS")
if __name__ == "__main__": main()
All this code is intended to do is to have a user, in this case my 4
year old, choose letters of the alphabet until all vowels are
specified. For whatever reason I'm neither getting an error message
nor am I obtaining any messages in the output console. Any help on
this would be greatly appreciated. I eventually want to make this
into a gui in order to introduce young kids to programming, by having
the letters print out to screen as the user makes choices based on
vowels and consonants. Again, thank you for any help and expertise.
Best Regards,
