Answer 1

Podle Playz No, I mean you wrap the code that generates a letter into one function, and the code generating a vowel into another, and call them several times to construct a word.

```
def get_letter():
alphabet = (random.randint(1, 26))
if alphabet == 1:
alphabet = "a"
...
elif alphabet == 26:
alphabet = "z"

def get_vowel():
vowel = (random.randint(1, 5))
if vowel == 1:
vowel = "a"
...
elif vowel == 5:
vowel = "u"

print("Bot said: " + gen_letter() + gen_vowel() + gen_letter() + gen_vowel())
```
More info see in the Python course, lessons about functions.

There's more that can be optimized, but I'll save that for later.

Answer 2

Use just if for the first conditional
If you have to make more checks of the same variable, use elif
Example: your code takes a number and it checks your age.
age = int(input())
if age < 18: #Always use if for the first clause
print(“You are not allowed to drive”)
elif age >= 80: #Here I’m using elif because I’m checking the same variable
print(“You have so much age to drive!”)

Answer 3

Podle Playz, You are trying to do something that is wrong. Your code was a logical error.
When you are trying to print the output (“The bot said: (random letters)”) you are concatenaring a string datatype with an int datatype, and that throws an error.
For example: what is the result of “1” + “1” -> “11”
What is the result of “1” + 1? -> ?!? Error.
You are trying to add a string and a number.

What do you want to do is to asign to the variable “alphabet” the value of a random letter.
But instead of doing that, you are printing the result of the letter value of the number.
So the variable alphabet still contains its initial number.
The same happens with vowel and alphabet2.

Also, It is a great habit to put if-elif clauses instead of just if clauses

So your code should look like this:

Answer 4

Podle Playz oh sorry! I forgot to put if instead of elif in the vowel clause. Now it is fine ;)
Pd: the bot said me “die” 😟

Answer 5

The error is telling you exactly what's wrong.

Here's a hint if you still don't understand: ints and strs are not the same thing and you cannot join an int to a str.

Think about something you should do if you would like to include a number(int) into a text(str). Maybe...change something?

Answer 6

Justice Other error was that he was printing the result of checking alphabet’s value, instead of asign the letter value to this variable.
So with a conversion it would look like this:
The bot said: 12221
12: alphabet
2: vowel
21: alphabet2
There were too many logical errors 😅
Podle Playz I recommend that you finish conditional lesson group in python course

Answer 7

Podle Playz Inside the basic python course, the third or fourth group

Answer 8

Justice Oof, You’re right.
So there is another logical error…😅
The alphabet random numbers are from 1 to 6, not from 1 to 26…

Answer 9

Justice I understand, sorry for my answer.

It might not work

Answer 11

Or something like that

Answer 12

Podle Playz If you're not new to Python, I implore you to the learn how to read errors messages.

You can use this code for some pointers or the video I also linked below which has the exact problem you were having.

Answer 14

Just as a note but I wasn't trying to give a full blown answer and completely change your code like Ugulberto Sánchez (though it's still a valueable option).

I was trying to usher you to the direction of type conversion. Whereas with with Ugulberto's code, you would have to change half of the lines in your code, if you merely do type conversion, you only would have had to change the very last print statement.

Though still great point about if-elif-else.

Answer 15

That makes so much more sense now! Thank you, I am actually in the making of an ai so this will help a lot. Thanks!

Answer 16

Ugulberto Sánchez Yup! LOL But I would rather guide them on a different approach rather than give a full blown answer but it was still a good example nonetheless! Assignmnts are important to learn as well. Even moreso than typw conversion at such an early stage.

Answer 17

No, flow charts

Answer 18

Podle Playz you could read the error description and then you would see that the numbers cannot concatenate with a string.

For this reason you have to first convert the numbers into string.

You can do that with python inbuilds method: str(). After that the print statement will see as follows:

print("Bot said:"+str(alphabet)+str(vowel)+str(alphabet2))

Answer 19

Yes there are. Every single time you declare a variable in your code, you are assigning them numbers(ints). You are even using those numbers to determine what to print.

Answer 20

I already gave you a hint in my initial answer.
