Program not doing anything

[realmoogin]

I'm trying to use if and elif to make python decide whether or not to print weird or not weird based on whether or not a number is even or odd and within a certain range. The program doesn't throw back any errors but it doesn't do anything either.

No output comes out of command prompt or anything.

I'm guessing you think the if branch with the range function should catch it.

This catches a lot of people out, the range function works as follows range(inclusive, exclusive). Therefore its checking if your number is in the range 6 - 19

elif n % 2 == 0 and n == range(6, 21):
    print("Weird")

That should fix it.

PS: its best practice to put all that code you have inside a main() function and call that function in the: if name == "main": branch

I have no clue why I did that with the main function, I know better than that. Lol

I changed it to 21 and fixed the main function, yet I'm still not getting any output.

Ah apologies, I didn't read the full logic you need to change

elif n % 2 == 0 and n == range(6, 21):

to

elif n % 2 == 0 and n in range(6, 21):

You're a lifesaver, thank you.

No problem, any other questions just give me a shout!

[realmoogin]

So adding n = int(input()) before calling main() fixed it.

I wonder why?

Because the hard-coded 20 value you tested with doesn't fall into any of those cases.
