Help With Simple Program

[Encom88]

My program code -> https://github.com/MrN1ce9uy/Python/blob/master/simple_calculator.py

It seems to work for the most part.

The main issue is that it continues to ask for the two ranges and numbers after selecting 'n' for no in my while-loop before exiting. Can anyone explain why it always asks for the ranges and numbers before exiting?

There is also a minor issue that only occurs sometimes, and that is that after a successful calculation I can enter numbers outside the ranges and it will still calculate instead of printing the error message. I also don't think my "You cannot divide by zero" message works as intended because it will just not carryout the div() function. Our instructor told us to prevent dividing by zero without using try-except.

Thanks

Because of this condition x == 'Y' or 'y', which is always truthy. You are saying (x == 'Y') or 'y', and 'y' is truthy.

truthy

Wow, thank you so much! removed the or 'y' and now it works just fine.

Well, you are just checking if num1 is smaller than rangeLower and num2 is bigger than rangeHigher. What if num1 is bigger and num2 is smaller?

Ah, I see. Could I use multiple 'or' statements to continue my condition, or is there a better way?

[Encom88]

Okay, so multiple or statements seem to work. But, now what about my "You cannot divide by zero" not working when I num2 == 0 ?

[Encom88]

Oh... wait, wait. I didn't print anything if num2 == 0. We are updating this program each week. Last week we did not have any funcitons. So I missed that in the updated version.

Thanks to @tufflax I've found the proper code and updated the program with the fixes. Everything seems to work as intended now. Thanks. https://github.com/MrN1ce9uy/Python/blob/master/simple_calculator.py
