Hey, so I'm new to Python and I attempted to practice what I learned from tutorials by making a program that gives you how many years you have to live based on life expectancy in a country, your age, and if you smoke or not. I use Python 3.6.2 in PyCharm.
def calc_life(age, country, smoke): ''' I made a list of three countries and another with their life expectancy average. I also make a counter 'y' to use in the 'for x in countryList' loop. ''' countryTime = [75, 85, 90] countryList = ["Mexico", "US", "Canada"] global countryDat, smokeDat y = 0 for x in countryList: #This loop gets the life expectancy of the country. The result is 'countryDat' if x is country: countryDat = countryTime[y] else: y = y + 1 if smoke is "Yes": #This loop is to assign a value to smokeDat depending if the person smokes smokeDat = -10 elif smoke is "No": smokeDat = 0 time = (countryDat - age) + smokeDat #This just adds the previous results to get the remaning expected years of the person return time #This just asks the user the info needed for the 'calc_life' funcion print("How old are you?") age = int(input()) print("In what country do you live? (Mexico, US, or Canada)") country = input() print("Do you smoke?") smoke = input() result = calc_life(age, country, smoke) print(result)I get the following when I run it:
How old are you? 33 In what country do you live? (Mexico, US, or Canada) US Do you smoke? No Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/josea/PycharmProjects/untitled/asdf.py", line 33, in <module> result = calc_life(age, country, smoke) File "C:/Users/josea/PycharmProjects/untitled/asdf.py", line 22, in calc_life time = (countryDat - age) + smokeDat #This just adds the previous results to get the remaning expected years of the person NameError: name 'countryDat' is not defined Process finished with exit code 1I've searched for solutions on the web and spent hours trying to find out what was wrong, but either they didn't work or solved the NameError and made another error appear. Thanks in advance.
