Returning a Boolean operator and a variable both? - PythonAndArduino - Nov-08-2017
I'm very new to coding. I'm building a number guessing game. I had it working as a while loop, but I'm learning to define functions. I've built this, and I can make the results work if I have the resulting success or failure just print within my defined function, but I want it to return values outside of my defined function so I can act with the out there.
import random
import pygame
import sys
from pygame.locals import *
def game (theNumber, newNumber):
try:
int(newNumber)
except:
print("That's not going to work. I need a number from 0 to 10.")
return
myNumber = int(newNumber)
if myNumber >= 11 or myNumber < 0:
print("I said 0 to 10. Let's try again:")
return
elif theNumber == myNumber:
return True, theNumber
else:
return False, theNumber
doYou = input("Would you like to play? ")
if doYou == "Yes":
theNumber = random.randrange(0,10)
newNumber = input("Guess a number from 0 to 10.")
game(theNumber, newNumber)
else:
print("Consent is vital, I need a clear answer: Yes")
if game(theNumber, newNumber) == True:
print("Nope, the answer was", theNumber)
elif game(theNumber, newNumber) == False:
print("Congratulations, you guessed it: ", theNumber)I know I have unnecessary imports at the top, but I want to be able to act with the returns from my game function.

def myfunc():
return False,17
a=myfunc()
print a[0]
print a[1]

Ah, so I need to define another variable as the returns of the functions. Thank you very much!
