Help with raw_input - Marshall_99 - Mar-21-2017
I have this as a sample code but my questions of 'How are you?' and 'Do you like computers?' do not return the correct answers to my input. Any help would be great
q_name = raw_input('What is your name? ')
print 'Hello %s.' %q_name
how_are = raw_input('How are you? ').lower
if how_are == 'good' or how_are =='great' or how_are =='fantastic':
print 'Im glad to hear.'
elif how_are == 'bad' or how_are == 'not good' or how_are == 'awful':
print 'Im sorry to hear'
else:
print "I am sorry, I am a computer and don't have emotions."
q_comp = raw_input('Do you like computers? ').lower
if q_comp == 'yes':
print 'Awesome!'
else:
print "That's dumb"

Please use python tags (https://python-forum.io/misc.php?action=help&hid=25). I added them for you this time.
The problem is that you need parens after lower, like so:
how_are = raw_input('How are you? ').lower()That's how you call a function or method to get the value it produces. The way you have it, how_are ends up being the lower method itself. Note this oddity:>>> x = 'SPAM'.lower >>> x() 'spam'After the first line, x is the method itself, and displays as nothing. We can then call x, by using parentheses, to get the result we were looking for. But do it the first way I showed you. The second way is just silly.
