Question

Ok, I need some help here. I’m attempting to write a program that rolls a die internally (randrange), which is referenced to a list that will then print the result onto the screen

Example: User inputs “1”, activating the dice roll. The program rolls a 2 and checks a list to see what 2 means. 2 means Medium, so it then prints “Medium”

However, I can’t figure out where I’d look for a tutorial on this (as I can’t figure out what I’d even search for), and everyone I ask gets confused by the question. So I come to you with a pasted set of code. Here’s a pastebin for better viewing: http://pastebin.com/PGEmNqTm

import random

def Main() :

    print TESTING
    print
    print
    print "1 1d4"

    sum = raw_input("> ")

    if sum == '1':
        numberr = random.randrange(1, 5)
            if numberr = 1
                print "Small"
            elif numberr = 2
                print "Medium"
            elif numberr = 3
                print "Large"
            elif numberr = 4
                print "Huge"

while 1:
    input = raw_input("Press Enter to continue or q to quit").upper()
    if input == 'Q': break
    elif input == '' : Main()

Aside from a few small details, your code seems pretty good as it is.

Those are:

• Your if numberr == x: lines shouldn’t be indented because they’re not part of
  a new block.

• You need to double the = sign when doing a test: if number == 1:

• You need a colon for an if (which you knew, but it was missing on some
  lines).

• raw_input not raw_imput

• Quotes around “TESTING”

Here’s the code with those fixes:

import random

def Main() :

    print "TESTING"
    print
    print
    print "1 1d4"

    sum = raw_input("> ")

    if sum == '1':
        numberr = random.randrange(1, 5)
        if numberr == 1:
            print "Small"
        elif numberr == 2:
            print "Medium"
        elif numberr == 3:
            print "Large"
        elif numberr == 4:
            print "Huge"

while 1:
    input = raw_input("Press Enter to continue or q to quit").upper()
    if input == 'Q': break
    elif input == '' : Main()

So I’d say you already seem to have it right.

(Also Vishal’s advice is good too)
