Question

#I’m having issues with input / output with iteration included .. I know there’s important things missing. Think I will understand iterations better once this is answered.

#input should be “hit or miss” to add +10 or -20 to the player_total with 4 attempts

player_total = 100
attempts = 0
limited_attempts = 5
shot = input()

while attempts < limited_attempts :
attempts +=1
if shot == :
player_total += 10
print("hit")
else:
print("miss")

Answer 1

Hi Davon Caldwell ,
1)first thing move shot into the while loop
2) makes attempts one and then the loop will run 4 times as by starting at zero it will increase attemlts by 1 five times instead of 4
3) also the if statement needs fixing

Answer 2

points = 100
action = 4
while action > 0:
result = input()
if result == "hit":
points+=10
action-=1
elif result == "miss":
points-=20
action-=1
print(points)
