Question

Hello, I am trying to get my input to only allow integers, and once it gets past 10, it displays error, any assistance would be appreciated.

square_ct = input("Enter an integer from 1-5 the number of squares to draw: ")
triangle_ct = input("Enter an integer from 1-5 the number of triangles to draw: ")

while square_count(input) > 10:
    print ("Error!")
    square_count=input() #the statement reappears

while triangle_count(input) > 10:
    print ("Error!")
    triangle_count=input() #the statement reappears

Answer 1

My preferred technique is to use a while True loop with a break:

while True:
    square_ct = input("Enter an integer from 1-5 the number of squares to draw: ")
    if square_ct <= 10: break
    print "Error"

# use square_ct as normal

Or, on Python 3:

while True:
    square_ct = int(input("Enter an integer from 1-5 the number of squares to draw: "))
    if square_ct <= 10: break
    print("Error")

# use square_ct as normal
