I have some basic code to roll dice in python3, my input field is producing curly braces instead of an desired integer. How do I get my integer to show in place of my curly braces?
For a personal project trying to better understand python. I haven't tried anything as I am still new to python and unsure of where to begin. Tried searching here, found things either too advanced for me to understand, or issues far more specific than I need.
from random import randint
def roll(sides, number):
return [randint(1, sides) for i in range(number)]
sides = int(input("\nHow many sides do you want on your dice?: "))
number = int(input("\nHow many {} sided dice do you want to roll?: "))
results = roll(sides, number)
sides = int(sides)
number = int(sides)
print(results)
Expected result if I input 10 and 2 (as an example): How many sides do you want on your die?: 10 How many 10 sided die do you want to roll?: 2
Output is instead: How many sides do you want on your dice?: 10
How many {} sided dice do you want to roll?: 2
I apologize if this is a silly question, but I am unsure of where to start.
Apologies in advance if the formatting here is strange, this is my first post on here, and I am unsure of proper methods.
If you use Python 3.6 or above, you can use Formatted string literals using the "f" prefix, like so: f"your {var} variable". For instance:
number = int(input(f"\nHow many {sides} sided dice do you want to roll?: "))
Or, you can explicitly use the format method:
number = int(input("\nHow many {sides} sided dice do you want to roll?: ".format(sides=sides)))
or
number = int(input("\nHow many {} sided dice do you want to roll?: ".format(sides)))
