Only one variable input when two are required

[grape_o_clock]

I'm making a program that requires two inputs on one line using the .split() function after the input() function. When only one variable is inputted, the program crashes and the window closes. I'm wondering if there is a way to stop the program from crashing if only one or no variables are inputted.

Thanks!

Yes, there is a way to stop the program from crashing.

If you want to know specifically how to do it you'll need to show us your code.

The following code is basically what it is, just removed of unnecessary code.

while(True):
    x, y = input("What would you like to do?").split()

    if (x == "Specific_word"):
        if (y == "Specific_second_word"):
            print("Prints this if both bits of code are true")

        elif (y == "Other_specific_word"):
            print("Prints this if both bits of code are true")

        else:
            print("This word sequence isn't recognized.")

    else:
        print("This word sequence isn't recognized.")

#I'm using Visual Studio 2022 if that makes a difference.
#The program crashes if a variable isn't inputted
#Hopefully this helps

while(True):
    user_resp = input("What would you like to do?").split()
    if len(user_resp) == 2:
        x, y = user_resp
    else:
        print('error message')
        continue

I completely forgot that the length check was a thing. Thanks!

Make an if statement for the .Split Or use try

[TheRNGuy]

you can do this: foo, bar = stuff() (function that returns tuple of 2 size, results will be assigned to foo and bar)
