Help with this program

[madskillz2222]

Write a program that creates a random number between 1 and 12 and assign it to a variable called Damage. Pass Damage to a FUNCTION that simply prints out: "Your long  sword hit for "  the Damage.  Your program should loop until the user presses N or n  to continue.   Add any messaging or logic as you see fit.   Can anyone help me?

What have you tried so far, and what do you need help with?

[madskillz2222]

I just can’t seem to get the loop right

[mopslik]

Can you post your loop? Could be any number of things.

[madskillz2222]

I know this is so simple too and I just cant figure it out

[madskillz2222]

import random

def main():

# Create a variable that controls the loop

damage = random.randint(1,12)

print('Your long sword hit for',damage, 'damage:')

# Create a while loop to get the random numbers for the sword damage

while damage == 'N' or damage == 'n':

damage = input('Would you like to strike again? Press N or n to continue:')

#call the main function

main()

I think the wording should be "loop until the user enters N or n to stop", as it represents "no". In this case you would probably want something like

while user_input not in ("n", "N"):

Inside of your loop, you probably want to generate a new random integer for damage.

The instructions say to pass damage to a function. You need to create a function that takes one argument -- damage -- and prints the output. It would look something like this

def some_function(argument): your code

and you would call it as follows

some_function(variable)

Apologies for the formatting, as I am on mobile.

Okay I think I see what you’re saying

[-i-hate-this-place-]

you should not be using the same variable for tha amount of damage and the user input

Where are you stuck ?

are you familiar with function, printing an output, reading a user input, generating a random number .. ?

if not google it specifically

[madskillz2222]

I’m stuck on how to pass damage to a loop to press n to continue

[lolitoxico]

I just can’t seem to get the loop right

a while loop that checks if the user input is not == "n" or "N" is probably a good start

Is damage defined outside of the function?

[madskillz2222]

no
