Hi all. My name is Al Stern.
Hi Al,
Chapter 5: Lists and Dictionaries.
Note Lists AND Dictionaries....
I'm not sure exactly how this mailing list works but
was hoping someone here could give me some insight
You are doing just fine.
The only extra info we could find helpful; are the Python version you
use
and the OS you run.
For now, I'll assume Python v3 and Windows...
I think I did ok setting up the variables but haven't figured out
where to go from there.
...
Here is what I have (along with my latest error message).
I don;t see any error messages?
BTW. Please post complete error messages not just summaries.
Notice the topic. You have Lists but I see no dictionaries.
Think about how a dictionary works and how it could be useful here.
attributes = ["strength", "health", "wisdom", "dexterity"]
points = [0,0,0,0]
You ave a list of attributes and a separate list of points.
A dictionary holds a set of keys and associated values.
Can you see a connection?
MAX_POINTS = 30
available_points = MAX_POINTS - sum(points)
print ("You have", available_points, "points available to use.")
for x in range(len(attributes)):
print ("\t",attributes[x], points[x])
for x in range(len(attributes)):
point_choice = input("\n\nHow many points do you want to assign to
" + attributes[x] + "?: ")
A start would be to convert the result to an integer and then assign
that
to points[x]... Then modify available_points as needed.
However using a dictionary will simplify things considerably.
HTH,
