How do i add this? Please help

Question

def module(number):
mod = int(raw_input('Module'+str(number)+'grade achieved: '))
if mod >=80 and mod <=100:
print ('Distinction')
elif mod >=60 and mod <=79:
print ('Merit')
elif mod >=40 and mod<=59:
print ('Pass')
else:
print ('You have not passed this Module')

for num in range (6):
module(num+1)

Answer 1

# For your last question, this is because you are testing if lower or equal... it will work if you test for equality:

Distinction = 20
Merit = 15
Pass = 10

def caopoints(number):
cao = input('Module'+str(number)+'grade achieved: ')
# or
#cao = int(raw_input('Module'+str(number)+'grade achieved: ')
if cao== Distinction:
print('20 points') # or: print(str(20)+' points'), but longer, and not necessary
elif cao== Merit:
print('15 points') # also here
elif cao== Pass:
print('10 points') # and here
else:
print ('You have not passed this Module')
return cao

sum=0
for num in range (1,7):
sum +=caopoints(num)

levelsix = raw_input("Is the course level 6? (y/n)")
if levelsix.lower()=="y":
sum*=1.25

print (sum)

Answer 2

You need to return the value from within the function, and sum then in your loop:

def module(number):
# ...
return mod

sum = 0
for num in range(6):
sum += module(num+1)

Anyway, raw_input() is specific to Python less than 3... since Python 3, only input() is available, ans act as raw_input() in 2.x.
Also, in Python 2.x, if you use input(), you don't need to cast the returned value to int, as this is done silently...

Finally, your loop could be a little improved as this:

for num in range(1,7):
sum += module(num)

Answer 3

"# ..." is just to shorten my post and mean that you put here your actual function body ^^

Answer 4

# Sure, after the for loop, you need to print the sum ^^

for num in range(1,7):
sum += module(num)
print(sum)

Answer 5

Assuming Distinction, Merit and Pass are previously defined with number, don't you also need to compute the sum?
And what about the 1.25 multiplication if level 6?

Anyway, what's your question?
To do all that things, just change the module() function by the new caopoints() one, in the code we have established in your other thread ^^

Answer 6

# I think (I'm not sure to good understand) you just need to declare and initialize the 3 variables at begin of your code:

Distinction = 20
Merit = 15
Pass = 10

Answer 7

"""
anyway, in your last posts, you will print(sum) at end only if the condition is true, and in addition, you doesn't test the right variable: 'inp' was the name I give to receive the user input, but in your code you store it in 'levelsix' variable, so you need:
"""
btw I have not put this on my original code because I wanted to know what is wrong with it. This is on a different file. and also I changed it but it still gave me the same error.

levelsix = raw_input("Is the course level 6? (y/n)")
if levelsix.lower()=="y":
sum*=1.25
print (sum) # if you keep indentation, print is executed only if condition is true

Answer 8

Sorry, I just see the mistake now: you must use input() instead raw_input(), or use int(raw_input()) (raw_input return a string, while input() try to convert it to the well suited type (int or float in case of number entered)... All that is Python2.7 specific ^^

Answer 9

# this would work:

Distinction = 20
Merit = 15
Pass = 10

def caopoints(number):
cao = input('Module'+str(number)+'grade achieved: ')
# or
#cao = int(raw_input('Module'+str(number)+'grade achieved: ')
if cao<= Distinction:
print('20 points') # or: print(str(20)+' points'), but longer, and not necessary
elif cao<= Merit:
print('15 points') # also here
elif cao<= Pass:
print('10 points') # and here
else:
print ('You have not passed this Module')
return cao

sum=0
for num in range (1,7):
sum +=caopoints(num)

levelsix = raw_input("Is the course level 6? (y/n)")
if levelsix.lower()=="y":
sum*=1.25

print (sum) # are you sure you want to print sum only if level 6 ?

Answer 10

So retrieve the spaces at begin of line print(sum) ^^

Answer 11

"""
Did you enter number at input or word?
If the goal is to input word, the 'int(raw_input())' solution will not work ;)

The way input() works in Python before 3, is that if you enter word, Python interpreter will search for a variable of same name and return the value stored in it...
So, if you input 'distinction' rather than 'Distinction' you will get an undefined name error...
Another way to do would be:
"""

grades = {
"distinction" : 20,
"merit" : 15,
"pass" : 10
}

def caopoints(number):
cao = raw_input('Module '+str(number)+' grade achieved: ')
cao = cao.lower()
if cao in grades:
print(str(grades[cao]+' points')
else:
print ('You have not passed this Module or you didn't enter a valid grade')
return grade[cao]

sum=0
for num in range (1,7):
sum +=caopoints(num)

levelsix = raw_input("Is the course level 6? (y/n)")
if levelsix.lower()=="y":
sum*=1.25

print (sum)

Answer 12

thank you, I have but I am haivng trouble adding them at the end. I can't put it as

total= module(number+1)+module(number+1).. etc

Answer 13

Hi! Thank you for noticing my question. Im glad you answered it. Im a bit confused with

def module:(number):
#...
return mod

Answer 14

hi, when I tried the code, It doesnt show the total sum. could it be that Im using 2.7?

Answer 15

Ohhhhhhh, Thats why ahahaha.. Im so blind. Sorry for wasting your time Mr.visph. You're a wizard.

Answer 16

visph, I gave my assignment and my teacher said I mixed my code up.
this code ahhaahahaha

def module(number):
mod = int(input('Module'+str(number)+'grade achieved: '))
if mod >=80 and mod <=100:
print ('Distinction')
elif mod >=60 and mod <=79:
print ('Merit')
elif mod >=40 and mod<=59:
print ('Pass')
else:
print ('You have not passed this Module')
return mod

Answer 17

apparently its suppose to be like this

def caopoints(number):
cao = int(raw_input('Module'+str(number)+'grade achieved: '))
if cao<= Distinction:
print ('20 points achieved')
elif cao<= Merit:
print ('15 points achieved')
elif cao<= Pass:
print ('10 points achieved')
else:
print ('You have not passed this Module')
return cao

for num in range (1,7):
caopoints(num)

Answer 18

Im so stupid. I tried changing it but for some reason it doesnt work anymore

Answer 19

My teacher didnt have a problem with computing the *1.25 if lvl6 and adding them to find the total value. She just said that I made a mistake where Im suppose to be asking for (Distinction, Merit, Pass) and equal them to where Distinction=20, Merit=15 and Pass=10. but when I tried changing the original code to this , It doesnt work anymore.

def caopoints(number):
cao = int(raw_input('Module'+str(number)+'grade achieved: '))
if cao<= Distinction:
print ('20 points achieved')
elif cao<= Merit:
print ('15 points achieved')
elif cao<= Pass:
print ('10 points achieved')
else:
print ('You have not passed this Module')
return cao

sum=0
for num in range (1,7):
sum +=caopoints(num)

levelsix = raw_input("Is the course level 6? (y/n)")
if inp.lower()=="y":
sum*=1.25

print (sum)

Answer 20

My question is, How do I get
def caopoints(number):
cao = int(raw_input('Module'+str(number)+'grade achieved: '))
if cao<= Distinction:
print ('20 points achieved')
elif cao<= Merit:
print ('15 points achieved')
elif cao<= Pass:
print ('10 points achieved')
else:
print ('You have not passed this Module')
return cao

sum=0
for num in range (1,7):
sum +=caopoints(num)

levelsix = raw_input("Is the course level 6? (y/n)")
if inp.lower()=="y":
sum*=1.25

print (sum)

without this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Pixelated\Documents\stuff1.py", line 15, in <module>
sum +=caopoints(num)
File "C:\Users\Pixelated\Documents\stuff1.py", line 2, in caopoints
cao = int(raw_input('Module'+str(number)+'grade achieved: '))
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'Distinction'
