Hi I am a serious beginner with python and pythonista and I a stuck pretty early on in my course. What does this notification mean? Name ‘test’ is not defined.
Here is the code:
print("fill out this form")
print("enter your name")
name = input()
print("how old are you?")
age = input()
print("do you want to be an email suscriber?")
yes_no = input()
test(input())
In some cases, errors mean just what they say.
What do you expect the line
test(input)
to do, and how would Python know that is what you intend?
test is not a standard Python function, so if you are using it, YOU must define it, using def.
Oh, I thought test is a standard python function, so I was googling if I maybe had the wrong version of the Pythonista app downloaded. I had the same issue with type(). Is that also not a standard python function?
The task that I am trying to accomplish with the above code is to:
1. Create a variable to store input: name, age, yes_no
2. Create prompts for name, age and yes/no to being on an email list
3. Print a description + variable values for each variable
@hi_christina not very nice but to give you an idea
print("fill out this form")
name = input("enter your name")
age = input("how old are you?")
yes_no = input("do you want to be an email suscriber?")
print('name =',name)
print('age =',age)
print('email=',yes_no)
Here was the other example with the type() command:
I input 54 as the input value.
—————
print("enter a name or number")
test_input = input()
type(test_input)
———————————-
This appeared in the console:
enter a name or number
54
I tried this and nothing appeared in the console.
test_input = “Lala”
type(test_input)
@hi_christina type is a valid Python function but not for printing. It gives the type of the object
@hi_christina you can get local help of each function by selecting the word, then...
When I use the type() function on jupyter, there is no problem. I get str back when I run the cell. But in pythonista I do not get anything back when I run this.
print("enter name")
name = input()
type(name)
@hi_christina see my previous posts. If you want to see the result of type,
print(type(name))
Oh man!!! 😅Thank you! 🙏
I understand what you mean now about type being a valid Python function but not for printing. Sorry, I didn’t understand before, but it all makes sense now!! Thanks for helping out!
@hi_christina welcome here and good luck
