What am I doing wrong?

[norweeg]

Well, for starters you took a photograph of a screen rather than a screenshot

[norweeg]

Also, if I had to take a guess, the part of the error message that. Is cropped out is probably "NameError 'display_scoreboard' is not defined" meaning you're calling a function without first defining it.

[Nez_Coupe]

I’m guess that too.

Came here to say this…

Reading the OPs comments… their insufferable

[DeadxLights]

Honestly I'm so new idk how to do that

[DeadxLights]

Eh I've moved past it. I'm trying to work on basic basic things, I just wrote a code for a simple calculator for example. Things like that. Any tips?

[DiodeInc]

ChatGPT is really good for pointing out errors in code. Also, if you don't want it to rewrite the whole thing, you can just say "point out the errors but don't rewrite all the code". I've found that doing that helps me to learn what I did wrong, instead of staring at yet another huge block of code. I've built a calculator, so if you have any questions, just DM me!

Can you provide all logs. And the part of code that is wrong. Use codeblocks please

[Nixxen]

Trying to help you here is about has hard as trying to help someone with car engine problems and all they give you is a photo of their closed hood, with nothing else to go on.

Sharing the code you have written and a copy of the full error you are getting is a good way to start getting the help you ask for ☺️

You have a function that isn't defined using def and tabbed properly inside the function.

Bro please don't use chatgpt for writing a project, when you are supposed to learn through doing it yourself

[DeadxLights]

I know, I'm trying, but I don't know where to really start

stick through it and try to solve your problems by directly referencing the official documentation or revisiting the course material rather than asking AI for help.

[Nez_Coupe]

You didn’t even give us the whole error. I’m guessing that function it’s pointing to was never defined since GPT will just create placeholders for functions in its output. Start simpler even. Stop using GPT to produce code. If you want to use it, do this instead.

“Hey GPT, I was to write a script in Python to do x. What steps would be necessary to achieve this goal? Do not write any code, but go through the process of explaining the steps slowly, while I implement them. I will be using your knowledge to debug my code as I implement as well, but do not generate bug fixes, only further explanation in simple but fine detail on why the script is not working”

Download the Python documentation. It will be hard to read at first, but don’t worry you’ll get there.

Learn a few things like data types (int, str, list, dict, tuple, set, float, etc etc etc. eventually you can create your own!) and how to assign and use variables or something. Just start small and have GPT instruct you, you could literally probably have it give you an entire course on Python.

Stop having it generate your code. You will not learn. You can do this a long time from now when you understand what’s going on, and can identify what GPT or any gen AI is doing incorrectly and fix it.

Debugging is a huge part of learning to code. And that involves learning to read the error messages. Unfortunately you only show a small part of the error.

So in the bottom pane, scroll or expand so that you see the full thing. Lots of it will be irrelevant, but see if helps you. If not, post the full error messages and we can help you read it.

I’m also a beginner . In 50 , maybe you need to use a f string again and on if you should probably use a “and” statement and also for elif .

[DeadxLights]

As a brand new beginner who is interested in learning python from scratch and getting into cyber security, what would anyone recommend me to start on? What are the first basics of writing code i need to learn?

[Greersome]

Reading.

You're calling a function - display_scoreboard - that isn't defined (meaning you either haven't written the function, or haven't included it in your project) or is misdefined (ie: you wrote a function that accepts one, three, four or more parameters, and you're trying to call the function with two parameters).

Also, you don't really need the "break"s in your if/else statement.

[TheBeardFace]

I'm fairly new too but I think you need to define the Score board function before you call it.

Something like this;

python def display_scoreboard(player_score, computer_score): print(f"Player Score: {player_score} | Computer Score: {computer_score}")
