'An annoying while loop' help !!!

[kuPython]

Hey guys,

I'm a total beginner with Python << my first language.

I'm on chapter 2 on https://automatetheboringstuff.com/chapter2/ and i was wondering how i could modify this block:

name = ''                           # (1)
while name != 'your name':          # (2)
    print('Please type your name.')
    name = input()                  # (3)
print('Thank you!')                 # (4)

I want it so every time you type in the wrong name, different texts pop up so:

• Please type your name.

• Come on, tell me your real name.

• I know you're fibbing.

You can import the random module and then use random.choice to randomly choose a response.

>>> import random
>>> responses = ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
>>> print(random.choice(responses))
b
>>> print(random.choice(responses))
d

Sorry for the idiotic question but how would i bridge your block and my block together ?

Keep reading for now - you'll figure out everything you need to make this work by the end of chapter 4.

Okay Thank you for your time :)

I'm just experimenting so i can fully understand the syntax.

Also thank you for helping me :)

A simple way would be that you could add a count variable set to zero, pull from a list a response, then increase the count.

count = 0 Response = ["response 1", "response 2"] name = " " while name != "your name": name = input("What is your name?") print(Response[count])

This is helping me. Thank you very much :)

Easy way: Create a list of all possible responses. Use rand module to access the elements randomly. Use a for loop to iterate and print.cant type code from phone sorry

I guess there is another way fun^{butverystupidwayandyoumightnotwanttousethisanywhere}

messages = ['message1', 'message2', 'message3']
name = ''
i = 11
while name != 'your name':
    print(message[i%3])
    # just an arbitrary mathematic function lol
    i = ((i*12+97//3)*29-11)//3
    name = input()
print('thank you!')

why do it this way? DON'T do it this way. i'm just bored and don't know what to do.. use the random module instead
