I need help with python code

Code Help Python
1 
x = 4

print("Welcome to my quiz")

def din(x=0):
    a = input("What is 2 + 2? ")
    if a == "4":
        print("Good job, you have 1 point!")
    else:
        print("Wrong, try again.")
      
        x = x - 1
        return x
 while x < 2:
   x = din(x)

i want to make that if i get the question right the code ends.

i got the spaceing right but it got deleted when i copied the code over

4 
points = 4

print(“Welcome to my quiz”)

def din():
  answer = input("What is 2 + 2?")
  if answer == “4”:
    print(“Good job, you have 1 point!”)
    points += 1
   else:
    print(“Wrong, please try again.”)

din()
print("You have" + points)

I haven’t done python in a while, but that should fix it.

but my code was that you got 3 attempt and the problem whit the code was even if i got the question right it still reapeted(it was probably hard to see without spaceing)

So your idea is to ask a question, give 3 tries and in case of right answer one point and move on.
Trying to make it generic so you can use it for more questions that would be something like:

def ask_question(question, answer, current_score, tries=3):
  print(question)
  for i in range(tries, 0, -1):
    ans = input("your answer is: ")
    if ans == answer:
       current_score += 1
       print("Correct! Great, your score is:", current_score)
      return current_score
    else:
      print("Wrong answer. You have still" , i, "tries.")
  print("You failed answering the question")

You can just use it with:

ask_question("2+2= ?", "4", 0)

This should give you a start point and ask or google if something is not clear …

@anon40284853 Does it seem like a school assignment? To me it looks a bit like it.

the original title said it was not, and now it is changed again … so go figure.
If what i suggested gets used without trying to understand it, the teacher will know fast

class MyQuiz:
    def __init__(this, _q: str, _a):
        this._question = _q
        this._answer = _a
        this._points = 0
        this._correct = False

    def start(this, _length: int):
        for x in range(_length):
            print(this._question)
            _input = input("-> ")
            if _input == this._answer:
                print("Correct | +1 point.")
                this._points += 1; this._correct = True
            else:
                print("Incorrect | -1 point.")
                this._points -= 1
        print(f"Points: {this._points}\nCorrect: {this._correct}")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    MyQuiz("2+2?", 4).start(5)

Does this code solve your issue?

A class is a bit too much …

My first language was HTML/CSS, now I’m mainly a Python developer.

15

So how did you get about “this” then?

16

From a close friend of mine I admire.

It is against standard python styting not to use self and cls, but as long as you do things for fun it does not matter.

You created this program using a function, and forgot to use a while or a for loop.

You’re also passing the argument in the def function as x = 0, when in this program you don’t need to pass it any argument. Instead, you can write a program like this:

print("Welcome to my quiz!")

def din():
  points = 0 # Create a points variable to store the user's points.
  tries = 3
  while tries > 0: # Makes sure that the user's tries is above 0, when it hits 0, the program will stop.
    a = int(input("What is 2+2?: ")) # You need to add the int() statement so when the user gives their answer, it automatically converts it to an integer instead of a leaving it as a string.
    if a == 4: # Checks if the answer is == 4
      points += 1 # Add one to the user's score.
      print("Good job, you have",points,"point(s)!") # Output how many points the user has.
      tries = 0 # Sets the tries variable to 0, because they got it right, no need to continue.
    elif a != 4: # Checks if the answer is not equal to 4
      print("You got it wrong, please try again!") # Tells the user that they got it wrong.
      tries -= 1 # Takes away a try, the user will have 2 tries left after the first time it's taken away.
  return points # Returns the amount of points that the user has

  
print(din()) # Begins the quiz! Once the user is done, it prints the total amount of points they earned as a number.

Hopefully this helps you out, and if you have any other questions, feel free to reply!

Classes make the code look cool though.

that is a bit overcomplicated… xD
