If I put a "answer_list=[]" before the while True: line...is this
correct?
Yes that creates an empty list.
only trying to make a list of the answers, I probably
do not need to save the questions ?
Correct, but....
import random
....
answer_list=[]
while True:
choice = raw_input("Type 'ask' to ask a question. Type
'quit' to quit.\n")
if choice == "ask":
raw_input("Please enter your question:\n")
You are not storing the users input so how do you know
which question was input? I'd expect to see:
question = raw_input("Please enter your question:\n")
Or is this really just a print statement? You seem to ignore
this value and just print a random question...
roll = random.randint(0, len(dice))
print dice[roll]
raw_input()
Again this does not store the answer. I'd expect:
answer_list.append( raw_input() )
This will add the answer to the list
elif choice == "quit":
break
else:
print "Error -- Try again\n"
answer_list.sort()
print "Your answer's sorted:", answer_list
That will print the list ijncluding brackets etc, you probably want:
print "your answers sorted:"
for answer in answer_list: print answer
