I getting Index error after numerous tries - priyanshu - Apr-21-2019

You can't post images. We don't like images anyway. Please copy and paste the relevant code (in Python tags) and the full text of the error you are getting.

I'll post the code for the person -
from random import randint
positive = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
negative = ['b', 'c', 'd', 'f', 'j', 'k', 'l']
negative_comments = ['b', 'c', 'd', 'f', 'j', 'k', 'l']
positive_comments = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
x = ''
print(len(negative_comments))
while x != 'exit':
x = input('>')
if x in negative:
print(negative_comments[randint(0, len(negative_comments))])
if x in positive:
print(positive_comments[randint(0, len(positive_comments))])Sorry if I made a mistake when copying the code overIt gives me no errors

You should really be using random.choice on line 11 and 13, as in
print(random.choice(negative_comments)). Much simpler and less error prone.
