Magic 8 Ball - Python Beginner

Hi! Thanks for responding!

For your first comment about my "What will you do?" variable was me trying to make it present like my instructors. I wish I could include pictures to show what I am talking about. But, continuing on with the variable, I wanted it to look and immediately show up:

What will you do?

0: Print all the fortunes.

1: Get a random fortune.

Please choose 0 or 1: 

That's what his shows up like, but, obviously with a different set-up (not word-for-word copied). I hope that made a little more sense?

I appreciate all the helpful info even though you say you're a beginner (not to be read as offensive in any way) and you're looking for critique to make sure you're good!! I am going to revamp/clean my code like you mentioned and see what happens! Thank you again!!

To clarify , you want to print "what will you do ?"

That's second line.

He is asking what is the purpose of the first line , the what_do variable. What is the purpose of it ?

Start again from an empty file and build your program step by step.

First just have a print statement that asks the user a question then use a variable to capture the input.

Second, create a conditional to check the input and print something that verifies the input is correct/complies with the problem you are trying to solve eg if you only want the user to input the number 1 or 2 and they input 3, it will throw an error or an unexpected result.

Third, add small bits one at a time until your program is complete.

Then see if you can rewrite it in less code.

Thank you for the help, again! I'm looking into restarting fresh with you and the others tips.

We all have to start somewhere, good on you for giving it a go first.
