Question

Game where you output 'Hit' or 'Miss' with a total of 110 points

My code:
points = 100
action = 4

while action < 5:
result = input()
if result=="hit":
points += 10
action -= 1

elif result == "miss":
points -=20
action -=1
print (points)

You will get error because you are decrementing action after each iteration so loop will work till infinite because of condition action < 5.

Since there is only 4 iteration so you have to initialise action with 1 and after each iteration you should increment counter instead of decrement.

Answer 2

1) your while condition is wrong, as you start action as 4 and decrease it by one at each iteration... however, to take 5 actions, rather initialize action to zero, and increase it by one at each iteration ^^

2) your if/elif blocks seems indented, but that's not clear: rather use more spaces to male the indentation clearer

3) I guess the print(points) must occurs only after 5 actions done... so without any indentation

4) if the game should end at 110 points, you must test it inside while loop and break if >= 110

Answer 3

copy the full task description if you want to be helped further ;)

Answer 4

Your action will always be less than 5 because you are only decrementing it...

Thanks, everyone. There are still some issues I have. But, I at least got it to run now.
