(Solved)Here is another Code Coach i can't do (Hit or Miss)

You are making a game! The player tries to shoot an object and can either hit or miss it. The player starts with 100 points, with a hit adding 10 points to the player’s score, and a miss deducting 20 points. Your program needs to take 4 action results as input ("hit" or "miss"), calculate and output the player’s remaining points. Sample Input hit hit miss hit Sample Output 110 Explanation: 3 hits add 30 points, one miss deducts 20, making the total points equal to 110. Use a while loop to take input during each iteration and calculate the points. Here is my attempt(Copied it from someone): score = 100 shots = 4 while shots>0: result = input() if result == "hit": score+=10 shots-=1 elif result == "miss": score-=20 shots-=1 print(score)

Shah Johan The code you copied is not working for you because of the indentation of the last line of code. But you would be better to make your own code using the principals you have learnt. Have a look at the copied code and see if you can improve it. Review while loops Review variable re-assignment Review operators

Shah Johan , i have a very boring question: => how can you try to solve a code coach exercice, when you have not started any tutorial? => may be you have an other account? whatever the answer will be, it does not look that your motivation is learning and practicing, as you also mentioned that your code is copied.

Other users can help you much faster when you 1) tag the relevant programming language 2) put your code into a script, check the indentation and link it here. I have an interesting question: how is it "my attempt" if I "copied it from someone" else?

Lothar I read recently that the tutorial progress on computers aren't showing on phones. There seems to be some sort of bug where you can't trust the profile progress info.

Lisa maybe the original code worked and the copying attempt was unsuccessful.

Shah Johan I will just assume you want to learn. With that in mind, the worst thing you can do is just copy someone else's code. Enlightenment comes, not from just copying code, but from the effort to write your own code. Even if it fails. At least then you learn what does not work. As you work to debug your code you will find those light bulb 💡 moments where you understand. Looking through someone elses code with the goal of understanding why it works is worthwhile too. Don't just copy code, you're short-changing yourself.

Lothar as Rik pointed out there seems to be a bug with the progress tracking/display. You can see from the badges that they must have started a course. It seems that badges are not affected by the bug.

That would have been my 2nd question: Why would I copy code from someone else, that obviously doesn't work, Simon Sauter ?

Lisa it's their attempt to copy someone's code. ;)

Shah Johan your print statement is indented under the while. It should have no spaces or tab before it.
