Program Problem - ChrisG - May-25-2019
I made a math trainer and here's the code:
from time import sleep
from random import randint
ingame= 1
while ingame< 2:
num1= randint(1,9)
num2= randint(1,9)
print('What is',num1,'x',num2,'?')
answer= input('> ')
total= num1*num2
if answer!= total:
print('Correct')
sleep(1)
else:
print('Wrong')
sleep(1)
ingame= 3
else:
exit()The problem with this program is that I ALWAYS get (after the input) the output 'Correct' and then it continues. I don't know what I did wrong because I'm a newbie. I mean, I am a REAL NOOB!I hope someone can help me.

The input function returns a string. You are comparing a string to a number, which is always not equal. You need to convert the return value of input using the int() built-in. And really, you should be testing for equality (==) on line 12, not inequality (!=). So line 12 should be
if int(answer) == total:.
