i have code application that, example teachers, can use check students reading ages. there part asks user input how many keywords want i'm confused / stuck on.
my code:
counter = 0 amount_keywords = [] input_keywords = int(input("enter number of keywords:")) while(counter != input_keywords): input_keywords = str(input("enter keyword:")) amount_keywords.append(input_keywords) counter = counter + 1 whats happening if put 0 onto integer "enter number of keywords:" works fine , passes next section asking put keywords in, perfect , working right. if put example number 3 should come string "enter keyword:" 3 times because that's i've put integer instead out carries on going. anyway fix this?
you have used variable input_keywords hold number of keywords input redefine it, inside while loop, hold each keyword. thus, if enter 3 before loop, type keyword 'a' during loop, input_keywords = 'a' when while loop compares counter, never equal, keeps going. try naming things more , don't reuse variables different purposes. example:
counter = 0 amount_keywords = [] n_keywords = int(input("enter number of keywords:")) while(counter != n_keywords): keyword = str(input("enter keyword:")) amount_keywords.append(keyword) counter = counter + 1 to debug things yourself, add print statement in while loop see value of counter , input_keywords , see why loop-ending condition not being met. or use debugger lets step through code , @ variable values.
