Here is my code:
while c2 != 1 or 2:
c2 = input('<1.Enter the kitchen> <2.Exit the house> ')
I was trying to make a text-based rpg, but this part kept stuffing up! I wanted the console to keep asking for the input until the 'c2' variable was 1 or 2, but it kept looping! What am I doing wrong?
change while c2 != 1 or 2:
to
while c2 != 1 and c2 != 2:
or
while c2 not in (1, 2):
first, there's a similar question here (it's about and. same as or)
second, when doing a multiply conditions you need to separate them like so:
while c2 != 1 and c2 != 2:
c2 = input('<1.Enter the kitchen> <2.Exit the house> ')
notice that the logics you use while c2 != 1 or 2 becomes a different logic expression
If you are going to be doing a lot of these type of inputs, then it might make more sense to make a function to deal with this as follows:
def get_response(prompt, replies):
while True:
answer = input(prompt)
if answer in replies:
return answer
c2 = get_response('<1.Enter the kitchen> <2.Exit the house> ', ['1', '2'])
