Hi Tutors
This is my first mail to this list so firstly thank you for reading and
apologies in advance for any noob mistakes i may have inadvertantly made:).
Ive only started learning python as my first programming language and its
all going well so far, working my way through a couple of books one of which
is programming python: for absolute beginners by Michael Dawson
In one of the code samples he supplies while doing loops ( namely if and
else loops) im getting a NameError i dont understand and cannot find any
help anywhere about it. here is the code he supplied and the error im
getting
# Password
# Demonstrates the if statement
print("Welcome to System Security Inc.")
print("-- where security is our middle name\n")
password = input("Enter your password: ")
if password == "secret":
print("Access Granted")
input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit.")
and the traceback error im getting
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "G:\Programming\Python\programming python\chapter3\password.py", line
7,
in <module>
password = input("Enter your password: ")
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'secret' is not defined
I know this is probably very simple but for some reason i cannot get my head
around it.
thank you for any help in advance
shane
