my code didnt show error but it didnt show what I expected. It is a code to mark "X" on a 3x3 table. Here is the code
as far as I believe it is ok to just use elif multiple times instead of else
my code didnt show error but it didnt show what I expected. When I changed my code just last elif to else, It worked. Like I changed the corresponding code for input of "B3"
line1 = ["⬜️","️⬜️","️⬜️"]
line2 = ["⬜️","⬜️","️⬜️"]
line3 = ["⬜️️","⬜️️","⬜️️"]
map = [line1, line2, line3]
print("Hiding your treasure! X marks the spot.")
position = input()
if position[0]=="A":
if position[1]==1:
line1[0]="X"
elif position[1]==2:
line2[0]="X"
elif position[1]==3:
line3[0]="X"
elif position[0]=="B":
if position[1]==1:
line1[1]="X"
elif position[1]==2:
line2[1]="X"
else:
line3[1]="X"
elif position[0]=="C":
if position[1]==1:
line1[2]="X"
elif position[1]==2:
line2[2]="X"
elif position[1]==3:
line3[2]="X"
print(f"{line1}\n{line2}\n{line3}")
The problem is not the if-statements.
The input is saved as a string.
if postition[1] == 1 therefore compares a string with an integer. Adjust the variables accordingly and it should work.
You can make 'position[1]' an integer:
if int(position[1]) == 1:
or compare 'position[1]' with a string:
if position[1] == "1":
