Problems with Equality of Numbers - SheeppOSU - Jan-04-2019
I have made code to help study multiplication facts but I am having some problems I need fixed. First off and the easiest is that I enter the same number loaded into the variable but it says that they are not the same. If that was hard to understand just take a look. 2. I need a way to only give someone 3 seconds to answer instead of all the time they need.
import random
import time
Number_0_list = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
Number_1_list = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
variable = 0
print('You have 3 seconds to answer each question')
time.sleep(3)
for x in range(0,10):
print('Ready...')
time.sleep(1)
print('Set...')
time.sleep(1)
print('Go!!!')
time.sleep(1)
Number_0 = random.choice(Number_0_list)
Number_1 = random.choice(Number_1_list)
print(Number_0, '*', Number_1)
Answer = Number_0 * Number_1
variable_record = variable
InputAnswer = input("Answer Here: ")
if InputAnswer == Answer:
print('Nice Job!')
time.sleep(1)
else:
print('OOF! Better luck next time')
time.sleep(1)
print('The real answer is %s' % Answer)Output:You have 3 seconds to answer each question
Ready...
Set...
Go!!!
1 * 5
Answer Here: 5
OOF! Better luck next time
The real answer is 5
Ready...
Set...
Go!!!
6 * 11
Answer Here: 66
OOF! Better luck next time
The real answer is 66
Ready...
Set...
Go!!!
0 * 9

Try this. A string of letters can never equal a number.
InputAnswer = input("Answer Here: ")
if InputAnswer == Answer:
print('Nice Job!')
time.sleep(1)
else:
print('OOF! Better luck next time')
print(type(InputAnswer), type(Answer))
time.sleep(1)
print('The real answer is %s' % Answer)

For the time limit, you'll need multithreading and set up a race condition. Essentially, you need two threads - one for user input and one for the timer. The timer thread would send a null answer after three seconds once activated. So, the user will have to provide an answer before the timer does.

I posted code here to take user input with a timeout. You could use it here.
