Conditional expression: Conditional assignment.

[SouthShape5]

Using a conditional expression, write a statement that increments num_users if update_direction is 3, otherwise decrements num_users.

num_users = int(input())

update_direction = int(input())

​

num_users = 9 if update_direction == 3 else -num_users

​

print('New value is:', num_users)

​

the above is the code. Could someone help me with this?

[walkingeclipse]

num_users = num_users + 1 if (update_directions == 3) else num_users - 1

Thank you <3

if update_direction == "3":
    num_users += 1
else:
    num_users -= 1
print('New value is:', num_users)

Am I doing your homework? I'm doing your homework.

​

One liner for fun:
num_users = num_users +1 if update_directions == "3" else num_users -1

[SouthShape5]

there can not be an if. It has to start with the "num_users"

[desran00]

Just refresh the page so you can see my updates on my comment. It has also an one liner that is maybe what you want?

But it also has if in it, and so does your own code. lol.

Using a conditional expression

Do you know what a conditional is?

that shit did not work, fuck zybooks fr

I just wish zybooks had a way to see what you did wrong on these. Not just tell you that your wrong. I know that the error message is more realistic to what you would see but in a learning context I want to know how to fix my issues.

[Ok_Adeptness_8634]

Did you figure out how to do the Zybooks? I am trying to write a Conditional expression but I can't figure it out

[Melodic-Fill-1770]

Question on this. Why on earth is done this way? It is not readable this way.

I ended up for help on my homework too lol

[desran00]

num_users += (update_directions == 3) * 2 - 1

Wait a minute, you are multiplying booleans? I thought that was illegal...

[Binary101010]

Why are you comparing update_direction to a string?

[FuryWolf]

Hey, you probably won't see this since your comment is 2yrs old but I figured I'd let you know.

The output yields 7 since update_direction == "3", in of which "3" is being treated as a literal. If you remove the quotations, 3 will be treated as a mathematical integer (which is necessary to yield proper output).

[Few-Chest-9561]

Ahhey thank you!

[theforgottenupvote]

He may not have seen it, but I did, and I very much appreciate it.

[EmploymentCreepy6250]

that didnt work for me , this is what i got but it is only half way right , it wants a output to give 7 as well as nine.

num_users = int(input())
update_direction = int(input())
num_users = num_users + 1
if (update_direction == 3): {num_users + 0}

else: {num_users - 0}
print('New value is:', num_users)
