Question

from gtts import gTTS
from playsound import playsound
import time
import random
numbers=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]

def sum():
global answer
x=random.choice(numbers)
y=random.choice(numbers)
x_me=x
y_me=y
text=('plus')
text_main=str(x_me)+text+str(y_me)
tts=gTTS(text=text_main,lang='en')
tts.save('output.mp3')
playsound('output.mp3')
print(x ,'+', y)
answer=x+y

score = 0

sum()
answer_user=input()
print(answer)
if answer==answer_user:
print('COORECT!!')
score+=1

else:
print('NOPE SORRY!!')

When I run the code it will always show me' NOPE SORRY!!'
How can I fix it??

Answer 1

The variable "answer" is integer and "answer_user" is a string. When compares always return False.
And it is not recommended to use a built-in function name such as "sum" be your function name because it will override the default sum function.

A side tip, you can initialize "numbers" with this code:
numbers = list(range(1, 13))
If you print it and check the data type, it is the same as yours, yet the code is much shorter.

Also you can use "return" the "answer" to a variable, such as:
random_answer = sum() # Once again, a custom function name like "sum" is not recommended
Then you can compare it to other variable without using global variable, which also is not advised.
