I am coding a Python dice game. I want the game to start when the user lets it.
So far I have this code:
number = random.randint(1, 6)
print("Do you want to roll the die?")
answer = input("Please type 'yes' or 'no': ")
dic = {"yes"}
while(True):
answer = input()
if answer in dic:
print("You have rolled: ", (number))
break
else:
print("oh.")
But when the program runs, the user has to type "yes" in twice, for it to register it.
How do I skip the user having to type on the "Please type 'yes' or 'no': " line, so that they answer only once, on the line after it?
I have tried using print(), but I'm not sure where to put it so that it doesn't cause errors.
Thank you
The user is prompted twice because you're calling the input
function twice. You only need to call it inside the loop.
number = random.randint(1, 6)
print("Do you want to roll the die?")
dic = {"yes"}
while(True):
answer = input("Please type 'yes' or 'no': ")
if answer in dic:
print("You have rolled: ", (number))
break
else:
print("oh.")
