Atom NameError: name '' is not defined

I am writing a simple team picker program and I keep getting this error message:

NameError: name 'y' is not defined

My code works in online python interpreters so i am not sure if is my code or the text editor that i am using which is atom.

Solution

  • This code should work

    players = []

while input('Would you like to add players to your team? Y/N').lower() == 'y':
    name = input('What is the players name?')
    players.append(name)

print(f'You have {len(players)} players on your team')

    You need to call lower (like lower()) to actually get the lowercase answer, not the function lower. Also I moved the add player input to the while loop to make it more clean.
