Question

I’m a noob particularly at django. What I am trying to do is a variation on a simple problem:

Go to mysite/number. Get a number from a webpage form. Reload mysite/number and get a second value from the same form. Do that n times. And get the total for n.

In other words, what is my next line after total += number?

Answer 1

You can use

redirect(to[, permanent=False], *args, **kwargs) 

Doc: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/shortcuts/#django.shortcuts.redirect

You can read the value of number and then again redirect the user to the same page.

You can use something like:

def someview(request):
    #Get your number
    #Add to total using total+=number
    return redirect('/your/desired/url')
