Question

im teaching myself python and im abit confused

#!/usr/bin/python

def Age():
        age_ = int(input("How old are you? "))


def Name():
        name_ = raw_input("What is your name? ")


def Sex():
        sex_ = raw_input("Are you a man(1) or a woman(2)? ")
        if sex_ == 1:
                man = 1

        elif sex_ == 2:
                woman = 2

        else:
                print "Please enter 1 for man or 2 for woman "

Age()
Name()
Sex()
print "Your name is " + name_ + " you are " + age_ + " years old and you are a " + sex_ + "."

Error

File “./functions2.py”, line 25, in print “Your name is ” +
name_ + ” you are ” + age_ + ” years old and you are a ” + sex_ + “.”
NameError: name ‘name_’ is not defined

Surely it is defined in the Name() function? Im confused 🙁

Arr I am now thanks for making it a bit more newb proof, Ive now got a problem in the Sex() function. It was returning a number in the print rather than a word “man” or “woman” so I change the code to try fix it. But im getting the following error now File

"./functions2.py", line 16
    2 = woman
SyntaxError: can't assign to literal

I tried to make the 2 an str(2) but it gave me another error. Thanks for you help so far appreciated

#!/usr/bin/python

def Age():
    age_ = raw_input("How old are you? ")
    return age_
def Name():
    name_ = raw_input("What is your name? ")
    return name_
def Sex():
    sex_ = str(raw_input("Are you a man or a woman? "))
    if sex_ == 1:
            1 = man
            return sex_

    elif sex_ == 2:
            2 = woman
            return sex_

    else:
            print "Please enter man or woman "


age_ = Age()
name_ = Name()
sex_ = Sex()


print "Your name is " + name_ + " you are " + age_ + " years old and you are a " + sex_ + "."

Answer 1

It is, but _name‘s scope only extends to the end of the Name() function. Once the Name() function exits, the _name variable is gone.

Try something like this instead:

def Name():
    name = raw_input("What is your name? ")
    return name

_name = Name()

print "Your name is " + _name

You’ll need to do something similar for age and sex.
