Input Validation

Question

I’m trying to write a block of code that will only accept floats, integers, and the letter ‘d’. For some reason, the structure I have isn’t working. Am I going about this the wrong way? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Hi, try it changing it to this:

while True:
m = input('Please enter a measurement: ')
try:
data.append(float(m))

It seems to work.
