Hi guys,
I am completely new to programming and have never had the opportunity to do
attempt coding before. However I have started now and am facing my first
problem.
The code is as shown, I need to *fill in the blanks* such that when the
code is run it gives the answer as "True".
#Please help.
# Make sure that the_flying_circus() returns True
def the_flying_circus():
if ________: # Start coding here!
# Don't forget to indent
# the code inside this block!
elif ________:
# Keep going here.
# You'll want to add the else statement, too!
Thanks and Regards
Mr. Sathyakumar Sharma,
That's easy, simply add "Return True" as the last line of your function.
However I suspect that you haven't asked the correct question. Did
you actually mean "How do I test that the call to the_flying_circus
returns True?"? If I'm correct in Python you normally check for
"truthiness" as opposed to the actual values "True" and "False". Hence:-
if the_flying_circus():
doThis()
else:
doThat()

what you can do for our language.
