raw_input name error

Question

I posted my pythonslots code, but it won't run because it says raw_input has not been defined. I thought it was a standard library function. Do I need to do something special to make my code run in the code playground?

Answer 1

in python3 raw_input() was renamed as input()

so change raw_input() by just input()

Answer 2

yes, playground have this unexpected way of taking input,

pass all your inputs separated by single lines in the only prompt appear (total number of lines = no of times your code is expecting the input)

example if your code is expecting 3 inputs,
then input should be as follows:

input1
input2
input3

I hope this solves your problem.

Answer 3

nope
there isn't in the playground.

Answer 4

your welcome ☺️

Answer 5

changing raw_input() to input() got rid of the name error, but sololearn code playground doesn't seem to handle the input request very nicely. I have two lines containing input () and one of those is in a loop but it only prompts for input once when "Run" is pressed. Is this a limitation of sololearn? Or am I still doing something wrong? It's the only code I've posted if you wanna check it out.

Answer 6

so there is no way to handle infinite inputs, say for like a game?

Answer 7

Bummer. Thanks for your answers, though! Very helpful!
