Solved Chess tournament you’re creating code for a chess tournament

Question

# Convert the values into numbers
wins = input()
ties = input()

# 1 win = 3 points
# 1 tie = 1 point
# Calculate the score
score = int(3*wins+ int ties)

# Concatenate the 2 strings to produce a message
message = "Score: "+ str(score)

# Display the message
print(message)

Answer 1

Christian Francis did you use int(wins) and int(ties)

In the above code example you didn't

this converts a string to an integer

score = int(wins)*3 + int(ties)*1

Answer 2

I did it

Answer 3

# Convert the values into numbers
wins = input()
ties = input()

# 1 win = 3 points
# 1 tie = 1 point

# Concatenate the 2 strings to produce a message
message = "Score: " +str(score)

Answer 4

Line 1: "Convert the values into numbers".

State clearly what issue you encounter.

Answer 5

Im not guessing

Answer 6

Suppose the team has 4 wins and 1 draw. What score should the program output? What score do you observe it to output?

Stating what issues you encounter means describing what happens when you run the program: What is the desired output? What is the actual output? What is the error message that the program displays?

Answer 7

Convert the values that are stored in the variables wins and ties to numbers. Using the int() function.
You can show us your updated code then.

Answer 11

Great!

Now try to explain why this works, while the other one doesn't.
