I think Slick meant;
choice = int(input("Enter a number (1-5): ")) - 1

Answer 2

Answer 4

a = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']

choice = int("Enter a number (1-4): ") - 1
print("You chose:", a[choice])

# input
Enter a number (1-4): 2

#output
You chose: e

Answer 5

Slick apparently your code seems not to be working I've got an error message : "invalid literal for int() with base 10 : 'enter a number (1-4):'"

Answer 6

Yeah, you have to enter a number!

Answer 7

The input doesn't include the prompt. I added that cause that's what you'd see and i thought it'd help a bit
