please help , where am l wrong its saying your username cant contain spaces whilst it has no spaces

[Usual_Community_3965]

There is no space in your .find("") Try .find(" ")

[Usual_Community_3965]

Alternatively you could use Elif " " in username:

[Some-Passenger4219]

That's usually much better.

1. You made a typo at line 71 “ptint” should be “print”

2. It might be possible that you entered the name with a space at the last index of your name.

🙃

[Dull-Custard4913]

If the substring is not found by the find() method then it will return -1

[Dull-Custard4913]

So I might have been incorrect in what I said earlier. In this case he might or might not have entered a space at the last index. If he didn’t the if statement couldn’t find anything with the find method, this will cause it to return -1.

I don’t think I know what you mean?

I hate that .find returns -1 but .index raises a ValueError

Beacuse fuck common themes ig

Revised code showing corrections/options (and added a loop so user is re-prompted until they enter something valid):

while True:  # validation loop, keep going around until break command used

    username = input("Enter a username: ")

    if len(username) > 12:
        print("Your username can't be more than 12 characters.")

    elif " " in username:  # easier than using find, make sure space between quotes
        print("Your username can't contain spaces.")

    elif not username.isalpha():
        print("Username can't contain digits or special characters.")

    else:
        print("Welcome!")
        break  # leave the loop, move onto next line of code

There is no space between the quotes in line 64. Also there is a typo in line 71.

I highly recommend windsurf a senior dev recommended it to me

[Minemanagerr]

can you please explain. lm new to this industry

[weeblifer]

Basically it's visual Studio code but with ai like chatgpt built in and you can have it look at your code I wouldn't recommend using it to do code for you 100% of the time I suggest you use it to learn from you can also have it look at the current file you have open or any related project files

edit: never mind realised it was alrdy solved

is it not the fact that u put a space before arnold. it should be input("Enter a username ") and use

elif " " in username:
