I have this simple little program which doesn't work. I want the program to keep asking the user for my name till they guess it.
The program throws an error message after the first attempt. I can't work it out where the problem is.
name = "not_aneta"
while name != "aneta":
name = input("What is my name? ")
if name == "aneta":
print "You guessed my name!"
When I run it I get an error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Aneta\Desktop\guess_my_name.py", line 4, in <module>
name = input("What is my name? ")
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'aneta' is not defined
You have to use raw_input
(input
tries to run the input as a python expression and this is not what you want) and fix the indentation problem.
name = "not_aneta"
while name!= "aneta":
name = raw_input("What is my name? ")
if name == "aneta":
print "You guessed my name!"
