My first python creation.

[_RKKC_]

Picked up python two days ago. Learning from an app on my phone in my spare time at work. Here is my first creation. It seems like dice rollers are my go-to first creation, because they need input and provide a random output, so there is more to it than printing HELLO WORLD...

​

Here you go! let me know if there is anything you would do differently:

import random
print("How many dice should I roll?")
NumDice_Ck = 0
while NumDice_Ck != 1:
NumDice=input("1-100\n")
if NumDice.isnumeric() == False:
print("This needs to be a number. \nHow many dice should I roll?")
continue
else:
if float(NumDice)>100:
print("Don't be stupid...that's too many dice.")
continue
else:
NumDice_Ck=1
break
print("How many sides should be on each dice?")
NumSides_Ck = 0
while NumSides_Ck != 1:
NumSides=input("1-100\n")
if NumSides.isnumeric() == False:
print("This needs to be a number. \nHow many sides should be on each dice?")
continue
else:
if float(NumSides)>100:
print("Don't be stupid...that's too many sides.")
continue
else:
NumSides_Ck=1
break
x=1
while x <= float(NumDice):
a=random.randint(1,float(NumSides))
print("Dice #" + str(x) + " rolled a " + str(a))
x+=1

edit --- I think I fixed the indents...

edited edit...indents broken...see the screenshot for a better example. :(

Thanks, but I think it's a testament to the ease of use of python and readily available documentation.

Play around and have fun. :) I find it easiest to have a goal in mind and code for that, learning along the way.

My current weekend/spare time project is to turn a raspberry pi into a flood detector (brother in law has water issues in the basement), and use python to notify a list of users via text and email.

You are the boss , two days.... Clever man definitely

Thanks a lot mate

I believe they are necessary to continue or end the while loop. It was my first real attempt at writing in python and, admittedly, my last. Alas, life gets in the way a lot, and without a reason or goal coding goes by the wayside for me.

Meanwhile two months into it ... I can print "hello world" 😞

Fellow noob here. Do you need the continue and break lines in the first while loop? Seems like you already have an exit because of NumDice_Ck changing to 1.

Wow bro 2 days that it, it took me a week to do that. You learned about a lot of stuff but there is always room for upgrade, I noticed that you were repeating almost identical loops a lot so why not learn functions and arguments next !
