Hello.
I am new to programing and Python. And I have created a simple program that randomize the output (it's a magic 8 ball) the program works fine. But now to My problem:
I created a loop so long as the user dosen't press "n" the program restarts, however Im trying to find a command so that only "j" restarts the program as of now all letters except n restarts the program. Here is the code:

import random
import console
val = ""
while val != "n":
    console.clear()
    def getAn(ansnu):
        if ansnu == 1:
            return "Du kommer bli rik inom närmaste framtiden"
        elif ansnu == 2:
            return "Du kommer få tur i kärleken"
        elif ansnu == 3:
            return "Du kommer att göra en resa"
        elif ansnu == 4:
            return "Du kommer att få framgång i ditt yrke"
        elif ansnu == 5:
            return "Den närmaste framtiden ser otydlig ut"
        elif ansnu == 6:
            return "Olycka väntar dig"
        elif ansnu == 7:
            return "Framtiden är mörk..."
        elif ansnu == 8:
            return "Hmmm ser inte bra"

        # resten måste vara inanför while oxå
    r = random.randint(1,8)
    fort = getAn(r)
    print(fort)
    print("Vill du testa igen (j/n)")
    val = input()
    if val == "n":
        print("hejdå")
console.hide_output()

As you can see there is the option to try again print("Vill du testa igen (j/n)")
val = input()
But any button execpt n restarts the program. How can I change it so only j restarts it???

If I correctly understand your request:

import random
import console

def getAn(ansnu):
    if ansnu == 1:
        return "Du kommer bli rik inom närmaste framtiden"
    elif ansnu == 2:
        return "Du kommer få tur i kärleken"
    elif ansnu == 3:
        return "Du kommer att göra en resa"
    elif ansnu == 4:
        return "Du kommer att få framgång i ditt yrke"
    elif ansnu == 5:
        return "Den närmaste framtiden ser otydlig ut"
    elif ansnu == 6:
        return "Olycka väntar dig"
    elif ansnu == 7:
        return "Framtiden är mörk..."
    elif ansnu == 8:
        return "Hmmm ser inte bra"

val = "j"
while val == "j":
    console.clear()
        # resten måste vara inanför while oxå
    r = random.randint(1,8)
    fort = getAn(r)
    print(fort)
    print("Vill du testa igen (j/n)")
    val = input()
    if val == "n":
        print("hejdå")
console.hide_output()

Are your running in Python2 or Python3? The method input() is quite different between the two.

random.choice() can be your friend.

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import console
import random
messages = ("Du kommer bli rik inom närmaste framtiden",
            "Du kommer få tur i kärleken",
            "Du kommer att göra en resa",
            "Du kommer att få framgång i ditt yrke",
            "Den närmaste framtiden ser otydlig ut",
            "Olycka väntar dig",
            "Framtiden är mörk...",
            "Hmmm ser inte bra")
val = "j"
while val == "j":
    console.clear()
    print(random.choice(messages))
    print("Vill du testa igen (j/n)")
    val = input().strip().lower()  # <space>J<space> == j
print("hejdå")
console.hide_output()

Im using python 3.
Thx for help. I'll try it and get back to you
