I'm making a multi-purpose program in Python. I need help with the password guessing part of it. No matter what is entered it always says its correct. If anyone can help me with that and tell me how to make it into a program that you dont need to have python to run. Thx in advance
Why start two threads of this
Since you haven't posted the code, it isn't possible to help you with the first problem.
yea i cant post the code until later because its at my grandmas house on her laptop and i dont have it here. ill post it next time i go over there. and how did you learn so many coding languages?
All the languages are from the same or similar paradigm so the only real difference between the languages is the syntax (and some minor naunces with the language). Once you get the concept and thinking process behind what you program, the language doesn't matter.
ok sry this has taken so long. hopefuly you can still help me. heres my code so far. plus i would like to know what i did wrong and know how to convert it to where you dont need python to run it. To where u can run it like a normal game. EDIT::For some reason it wont do the indents. but all the indents are correct. that much i know. the problem is in the code itself

# This is my first program ever written by Young Prodigy on 11-17-06
# Also a multi-purpose program
def print_options():
print "Options:"
print " 'p' print options"
print " 'c' convert from celsius"
print " 'f' convert from fahrenheit"
print " 'w' play password guessing game"
def celsius_to_fahrenheit(c_temp):
return 9.0/5.0*c_temp+32
def fahrenheit_to_celsius(f_temp):
return (f_temp - 32.0)*5.0/9.0
choice = "p"
while choice !="q":
if choice == "c":
temp = input("Celsius Temperature:")
print "Fahrenheit:",celsius_to_fahrenheit(temp)
elif choice == "f":
temp = input("Fahrenheit Temperature:")
print "Celsius:",fahrenheit_to_celsius(temp)
elif choice != "q":
print_options()
choice = raw_input("option:")
if choice == 'w':
password = input("Guess the word:")
def password(w_game):
password = "143"
while password != "143":
password = raw_input("Type in what you think is the password:")
print "So you got it, well let's try round 2"
password = "143"
while password != "1992":
password = raw_input("Let's see if you get this one:")
print "Crap, you got it."
print "You may pass:"
Bear in mind that this is the first time I have used python:

The indents are pretty important and could change the logic flow, so without seeing the orignal source code with indents, I can't tell you exactly where you went wrong. Putting the function definition inside a logic block was hugely suspect.Quote:

yaustar i have to say you are quite a skilled coder. To understand a language the first time you glance at it is amazing. You truely understand basically all aspects of the language. I would pay for that skill.
Thank you. It isn't so much learning a new language that is difficult, it is learning a new programming paradigm or programming methods. I know two which are Procedural programming and Object-oriented programming which thankfully a lot of languages use so I can adapt fairly quickly to them.
Admittedly there are some minor quirks between languages of the same paradigm but eseentially, it is the same once you get past the syntax.
The two that I would like to learn are Functional Programming and Logical Programming.
well iv gotten execptionally better at lua and i adopted what you said to me a while back about logically going about your code and inplamenting a way to fix it. Such as in the cannabis guide my 2.0 release had no help and i just went about adding and fixing things with a logic stand piont of how the language works.
Im taking up C++ i have a program already but its not in psp C++ format and i cant compile it....
thanks alot guys. and can you tell me how to make it run like a normal computer program
:rolleyes:Quote:
