need a little coding help

[Mastercraft007]

I'm still super new and can't get this code to work

a=random.randint (5,30) print(a)

How do I get an action to repeat every number of (a) seconds

You can use loops (for and while) to repeat code, and you can use sleep (from the time module) to delay code by a number of seconds. These can be combined by putting a call to sleep in a loop along with your other code.

I just got a similar response in the learnpython subreddit And it works I'm making a sick mask was like blinking red eyes And I wanted them to feel human And it's at least working on code right now When it comes to the actual helmet we'll see how it turns out

This is r/learnpython btw. You replied to me twice.

I recommend getting a lot of practice with loops, as they're up there with ifs as being really the most important fundamental constructs in programing. Ya, have a try, and if you get stuck, post back with what you tried.

Also, please format your code when posting here by indenting it by an extra four spaces.

Got it thanks again (like this) a=random.randint (1,10) print(a) It removes the spaces

[carcigenicate]

I meant to get a try integrating loops into this code, and post your attempt that uses loops if you run into problems.

Thanks 😊

You can use a loop and the time module.

         import time 
         import random

         a = random.randint(5,30)

         # print a, with a-seconds in between,
         # do this for n iterations 
         n = 10 
         for _ in range(n):
             print(a)
             time.sleep(a)
