Im a total newbie and this is my first effort at writing my own bit of =
code. The program asks for the user to enter details of soccer teams =
performance from their last six home/away games to calculate a =
performance score.
Everything was going well to this point until I when it started skipping =
the section asking for home team and only inputs the team names and the =
following error message is generated;=20
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\Documents and Settings\paul\Desktop\match_form.py", line 24, =
in ?
while aw + ad + al !=3D 6 :
NameError: name 'aw' is not defined
I know this will probably be a fundamental mistake, but your help and =
guidance would be appreciated,
Paul
