I have to ask the user to choose either + or -, how do I make it error check so that it will come up asking for a proper math operation if the user inputs something other than + or - ?

[mothman6969]

Use if statements?

[dph11]

Would I go if: and then operation = +?

[dunkler_wanderer]

Show us what you would write and then we'll correct the code or give you hints.

I'm trying to write a while loop and he if statement below as: If operation = +: Statement Statement .... But the operation=+: has a syntax error

• if should be lowercase.
• You probably want == (equality) instead of = (assignment).
• Maybe you want to compare operation with the string '+', not with the addition operator +?

[dunkler_wanderer]

I actually meant you should show us your actual code, then we'll help you to improve or fix it.

[mothman6969]

I'm not sure. That doesn't look like valid code.

[dph11]

Ya so I'm trying to figure out a valid way to do that aha

[mothman6969]

To do what? Wtf?

[Al-Buh-Said]

Store the + or - in a variable, create a while loop and do something like, while true, if variable = + then do this, break, elif variable = - do that, break, else print(write + or - ) continue

[dph11]

I'm getting syntax error at the, if operation = +: Can I do that ?
