save input() into the variable(python)

Question

Here is my code:

def chose_range():
    while True:
        choice = int(input("Choose the range 100 or 1000:"))
        if choice == 100:
            n = 100
            break
        elif choice == 1000:
            n = 1000
            break
        else:
            print('Error, enter the right number')

        return n

I want to save result of this command into the variable. How can I do this in python 3?

Are you asking "how do I call a function"? Try `some_variable = chose_range()`. Are you working with a tutorial? Just read ahead a little further and I'm sure it will cover this. — Kevin, Aug 29 '16 at 13:35

@Kevin I am not so stupid:)Of course i tried some_variable = chose_range(), the problem was that I intented return too much. I didn't catch this misprint. — Daniel Yefimov, Aug 29 '16 at 13:43
What's the point of `n = 100` and `n = 1000`? You could simply `return choice`. However, your function will crash if the user enters a string that can't be converted to an integer. — PM 2Ring, Aug 29 '16 at 13:48

Do not return within your while-loop you break (you have one indent to much).

def chose_range():
    while True:
        choice = int(input("Choose the range 100 or 1000:"))
        if choice == 100:
            n = 100
            break
        elif choice == 1000:
            n = 1000
            break
        else:
            print('Error, enter the right number')
    return n
x = chose_range()

Did you mean something like

res = chose_range()

If you mean "save the result of calling chose_range() into a variable (you didn't say which), then:

theVariable = chose_range()

However, note that your function does not always return a value to be saved; if it hits a break statement, it exits the loop without executing the return statement, at least in how your posted code is indented.
