Please to help me to use “IF” Statement.
I want to study how to program, but I don’t know to
use any language and I decide to study Python, it’s
pretty language, not hard but very powerful. These
days I’m reading Python Tutorial, I understand it but
I can’t use “IF” statement. My platform is Win2000
and I use Release 1.6.
Here is the example from the tutorial:
>>> x = int(raw_input("Please enter a number: "))
>>> if x < 0:
... x = 0
... print 'Negative changed to zero'
... elif x == 0:
... print 'Zero'
... elif x == 1:
... print 'Single'
... else:
... print 'More'
...
I’ve done several attempts:
1. to type it: but the result is err
>>> x = int(raw_input("Please enter a number: "))
Please enter a number:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in ?
x = int(raw_input("Please enter a number: "))
ValueError: invalid literal for int():
2. to copy it (and then to delete the points from the
front):
>>> if x < 0:
x = 0
print 'Negative changed to zero'
elif x == 0:
print 'Zero'
elif x == 1:
print 'Single'
else:
print 'More'
Please enter a number: 7
>>>
(no error but I can’t see any print result.)
Please to explain me about “IF”, I know what it mean
and I have used it several times in Excel.
A lot of thanks
Best wishes,
Emo
