Continuing code after exception - palladium - Dec-14-2019
I have a module that takes several inputs from the end user, does some basic checking before getting called by another module to do some calculations.
Here is some of the code:
def smoking():
p = []
a = int(input("Are you a smoker? 0 = no, 1 = yes " ))
p.append(a)
while p[0] not in range (0,2):
p.clear()
b = int(input("Please enter 0 or 1 only. "))
p.append(b)
return p[0]
def diabetes():
p = []
a = int(input("Are you a diabetic? 0 = no 1 = yes " ))
p.append(a)
while p[0] not in range (0,2):
p.clear()
b = int(input("Please enter 0 or 1 only. "))
p.append(b)
return p[0]
try:
smoking = smoking()
diabetes = diabetes()
except ValueError:
print("Please enter numbers only")When the code is run and an exception is encountered (e.g. if I enter p instead of 0 or 1) the console prints "Please enter numbers only" as intended, but the code ends. Is there a way to get the code to loop if I enter a string, just like how if I enter a number outside 0 or 1?Thanks.
