Cash Out in intermediate python

Question

def withdraw(amount):
print(str(amount) + " withdrawn!")

def chceck(nums):
try:
x = int(nums)
return True
except:
print('Please enter a number')
return False

#your code goes here
try:
cash = input()
while chceck(cash) == False:
cash = input()

else:
withdraw(cash)
except:
pass

That's the code I used. It seems it doesn't work on page without try: and except: when I try to run the code on sololearn app. Works perfectly wen tested in python .

My question is. Did I went too far with it? and even if so, is there an option to make what I made better.

Answer 1

Are you referring to task 29.2 in Python Intermediate?

It would be helpful if you put your code in a script on sololearn playground.

From inspecting your code, I think you are making it more complicated than it needs to be. Consider the following approach:

try:
# get input
# convert input to integer, if it fails (ValueError), except-part will be executed; if not the next line of try will be executed
# call withdraw() with converted input
except ValueError:
# print the phrase as specified in the task description

Answer 2

Akash Negi The thread is about exceptions in Python. Do you want to contribute anything beyond "Haha"?

Answer 3

Is there a task description?

Answer 4

Lisa Yeah that's the one i was refering too. I just went too many curves on straight road and made it way more complicated that it should be. I guess beginigns are always a bit bendy 😀.

Answer 5
