clinic()
clinic()Here I want to understand, why "clinic()" used for two times?
I am a beginner, So please help me to understand...!
So, first to say that this is not good example of code. Same result can be achieved with 'better' code.
on line 13 they call the function clinic. It expect user to make a choice - left or right. If user enter something different they want to ask again. That is why they call clinic again on line 11. Just FYI this approach is called recursion.
Couple of more things - this looks like text adventure game, however one with poor design. They use if/elif/else to control the flow. Look at this tutorial
Second - this is python2 code. As a new to python you should start with python3, not python2. Official support for python 2 will end 1 January 2020.
Thank you so much sir, now I understand why used that code there & I'll sure followup all rules & regulations about posting & asking question. again thank you for your support.
