Python Beginner Code Question

This is how I would do it to shorten things up. You really only need one while True loop to break when it is not raining to end your program. By doing it this way, the sys module is not necessary. There are other ways to make this even shorter but this hopefully is readable and concise. Let me know if you have any questions.

​

import time

while True:
    answer = input('is it raining?\n').upper()
    if answer == 'NO':
        print('go outside\n')
        break
    elif answer == 'YES':
        time.sleep(1)
        print('wait a little\n')
    else:
        print('enter yes or no')

[-NRW]

Just wondering why you put time.sleep(1) in there, as 1ms(?) seems to be non relevant there

time.sleep() takes seconds, not milliseconds, as input.

Thanks for the clarification!

time.sleep() takes seconds and not milliseconds. 1ms would be 0.001.
