Python Code help

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

I'm having trouble with a Python code I'm writing. It is for a personal sleep time announcer.

 

print ('Hello, I am the Sleep Tight program, What is your name?')

myName= input ()

print('It is nice to meet you, ' + myName)

myAge = int(raw_input ('What is your age?'))

if myAge int(<=13)

    print (myName + ', your recommended time of sleep you should get at your age is 9 hours!')

elif myAge int(<=20)

   print (myName + ', your recommended time of sleep you should get at your age is 8 hours!')

else myAge int(>=26)

    print (myName + ', your recommended time of sleep you should get at your age is 7.5 hours!')

 

I'm having a syntax issue with the highlighted section. Specifically, here!


Please help if you can!

    Hello Brandon,

     

    Try this:

     

    print ('Hello, I am the Sleep Tight program, What is your name?')

    myName= input ()

    print('It is nice to meet you, ' + myName)

    myAge = int(input ('What is your age?'))

    if int(myAge) <= 13:

      print (myName + ', your recommended time of sleep you should get at your age is 9 hours!')

    elif int(myAge) <=20:

      print (myName + ', your recommended time of sleep you should get at your age is 8 hours!')

    else:

      print (myName + ', your recommended time of sleep you should get at your age is 7.5 hours!')

     

     

    I used Python3 so the myAge line uses input because there is no raw_input in P3 but you can use it in P2

    and you don't need the int(...) round myAge (beacuse it is an int already) but I left them in to show you where they should have gone to get correct syntax.

    Hello Brandon,

     

    Michael is correct in the code correction.

    A correction he also made was:

     

    From

    else myAge int(>=26): 

    (This part is incorrect as the statement should be also "elif" but then it won't display ages 21 to 25)

     

    Changed to

    else:

    (This way it includes every number with the exception of the first 2 statements.)

     

    Keep up the programming Brandon, your doing great
