Hello again!
Since I'm really new to this I've got to ask again. I'm having trouble with making a program end if a certian word is inserted in the program, but if some thing else is inserted I want it to continue. Now I might just use the method were the program kills it self when there are no more lines(Sane thought me that

) but I've already used it once and I didnt realy get that with the sys.exit thing. I gues that it has something to do with moduels but I dont know what taht is. Take a look at this:

#Ett enkelt program som jag skapat f�r att l�ra mig
#hur man programerar tv� olika alternativa "v�gar" i samma program.
kod = raw_input("Skriv kod:")
if kod == "1798":
print "�tkomst bekr�ftad"
print "V�lkommen"
print "Du �r b�st"
print "men �r du det?"
abc = raw_input("")
if abc == "ja":
print "s� sant, s� sant"
if abc == "ja":
break ###This is were I want it to shut down if "ja" is typed but to continue if something else is typed###(This line is not actually in the program)
if abc == "nej":
print "det �r du visst det"
print "du m�ste bara ha lite sj�lvf�rtroende"
if abc == "jepp":
print "vad var det f�r ett svar?"
print "du m�ste svara antingen ja eller nej, ditt n�t, det"
print "h�r programmet �r inte s� avancerat"
print "ja eller nej?"
ja = raw_input("")
if ja == "ja":
print "s� sant, s� sant"
if abc == "nepp":
print "vad var det f�r ett svar?"
print "du m�ste svara antingen ja eller nej, ditt n�t, det"
print "h�r programmet �r inte s� avancerat"
print "ja eller nej?"
ja = raw_input("")
if ja == "nej":
print "s� sant, s� sant"
else:
print "�tkomst nekad"
print "Avslutar program"

If anybody wants me to translate it into english I'd be happy to do so.
Thanks/Lingon

Try wrapping your code in [code] tags so we can read it. If you use the advanced reply, it's the button that looks like a pound sign.

There we go.

I modified it abit and it looks like this now:

(Toggle Plain Text)

#Ett enkelt program som jag skapat f�r att l�ra mig
#hur man programerar tv�, eller flera, olika alternativa "v�gar" i samma program.
kod = raw_input("Skriv kod:")
if kod == "1798":
    print "�tkomst bekr�ftad"
    print "V�lkommen"
    print "Du �r b�st"
    print "Men �r du det?"
                                  ##If "ja" is typed here I want it to end after "Avslutar programm"##
    abc = raw_input("")
    if abc == "ja":
            print "s� sant, s� sant"
            print "Avslutar program"
    if abc == "nej":    
            print "det �r du visst det"
            print "du m�ste bara ha lite sj�lvf�rtroende"
    else: print "vad var det f�r ett svar?"
    print "Du m�ste svara entingen ja eller nej."
    print "Det h�r programmet �r inte s� avancerat."

    sa = raw_input("s�, ja eller nej?")
    if sa == "ja":
            print "s� sant, s� sant"
    if sa == "nej":    
            print "det �r du visst det"
            print "du m�ste bara ha lite sj�lvf�rtroende"
    else: print "vad var det f�r ett svar?"
    print "Du m�ste svara entingen ja eller nej."
    print "Det h�r programmet �r inte s� avancerat."
    print "f�r sista g�ngen:"

    ek = raw_input ("ja eller nej?")
    if ek == "ja":
        print "s� sant, s� sant"
    else: print "Avslutar program"
else:
    print "�tkomst nekad"
    print "Avslutar program"

So, what I want it to do is that if the answer "ja" is typed after the question "men �r du det?", give me a certain line of text and then kill itself; but it just keeps going and I dont really know what to do about it. The same goes with the answer "nej". However it does give me that certain line of text that I wanted (both with "ja" nad "nej"), but then it just keeps going like before. The only thing that really works is if you type in something unknown after the question because it is THEN that I want it to continue until either "ja" or "nej" is typed. I tried a few things but none of them seemed to work.
I't be nice with som pro help here/lingon =)

Sane · Apr 15th, 2005, 12:15 PM

If you want it to kill itself after ja is typed. After you print the result of 'ja', indent the rest of the program with "else:". If you don't understand, I'll write it out for you.

lingon · Apr 15th, 2005, 5:43 PM

Yeah, I'd be nice if you could write it for me. Then I would learn it for sure. I'm sorry to bother you with all these stupid newbie questions, but I've only been programming for 3 days so...

lingon · Apr 18th, 2005, 12:07 PM

the problem id that if I indent the rest with "else" then it will, ofcourse, take the answer "nej" as else and I dont want that.

Ooble · Apr 18th, 2005, 12:11 PM

use elif (short for else if):

(Toggle Plain Text)

elif sa == "nej":

peace_of_mind · Apr 18th, 2005, 12:28 PM

if elif else, as Ooble suggested.
