So below is what I finally came up with that works. I’m trying to condense it
to half the number of lines like Denis suggested. I was hoping to clarify a
couple things if you guys don’t mind….
I wanna make sure I understand how this code is working. So, from what I
gather it first checks to see if the ‘guess’ is out of range and if that is
false it continues to the next ‘if’ statement checking wether it’s too low.
Now this is where I’m not 100% sure if the too low ‘if’ statement is false does
it skip everything that is nested below it (you are cold, warm, on fire) and go
to the ‘if statement checking if it’s too high? And now say the too low ‘if’
statement is true, because it’s an ‘if’ the code does not stop it continues but
when it gets to the elif the code stops?
def print_hints(secret, guess):
if guess < 1 or guess > 100:
print
print "Out of range!"
print
if guess < secret:
print
print "Too low!"
if guess < secret - 10:
print "You are cold!"
print
print "Sorry please try again."
print
print
elif guess < secret - 5:
print "You are warmer!"
print
print "Sorry please try again."
print
print
else:
print "You're on fire!!"
print
print "Sorry please try again."
print
print
if guess > secret:
print
print "Too high!"
if guess > secret + 10:
print "You are cold!"
print
print "Sorry please try again."
print
print
elif guess > secret + 5:
print "You are warmer!"
print
print "Sorry please try again."
print
print
else:
print "You're on fire!!"
print
print "Sorry please try again."
print
print
This is what I have right now, obviously it’s not working. I’ve been playing
around with it but I’m just not seeing where I’m going wrong. Any suggestions
are greatly appreciated!
