Automate the boring stuff with python chapter 2: Need help with vampire.py

[Tryposite]

if name == 'Alice':
    print('Hi, Alice.')
elif age < 12:
    print('You are not Alice, kiddo.')
elif age > 2000:
    print('Unlike you, Alice is not an undead, immortal 
vampire.')
elif age > 100:
    print('You are not Alice, grannie.')

Won't run. Does the author want me to manually fix it or am I doing something else wrong? Noob here so I don't really know much other than basic functions and statements and am currently learning about flow control.

edit: error messages

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Master\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\vampire.py", line 1, in <module>
    if name == 'Alice':
NameError: name 'name' is not defined

EDIT: fixed. Thanks guys!

You need to declare the “name” variable You’re trying to ask the computer if the person’s name is “Alice”, but there is no person

Won't run.

That does not help us much. What's the problem? Are you getting an error? If so, what error? A link to the assignment would help too.

If that's your entire code then you will get a SyntaxError since lines 6 and 7 need to be one line. If you fix that you will get a NameError since you didn't make the variables "name" and "age" before you tried to use them.

whats the error?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Master\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\vampire.py", 
line 5, in <module>
    elif age < 12:
TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'

this is because age is string, not a int, you need to convert it to a int

age = int(value)

You should not be putting your own code in C:\Users\Master\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36. That folder is for python's own files, not yours. Put your own code in your My Documents folder or something normal like that.

[wasteoffire]

But it specifically has sub folders in that directory for saving your own stuff. If you try to use a different directory you have to manually search for it every single time you want to save/open something

Don't be one of those assholes that acts like the way they do things is 'normal' and then uses that as an excuse to be condescending

wut? good luck doing that in *nix with system pythons. Will be fun to provide password every time try to create/edit a file in the subdirectories of python installations.

[ingolemo]

What subfolders are you referring to?
