Reset list if user regrets

Gilush

Hi again :)

I took some time to work on the input validation of my code before I convert it to Classes and I can't understand why the program ends if the user regrets his first answer and choose another.

help?

He're the full code this time:

        
          
          
              
              def get_questions(question):
    while True:
 
        try:
            question = str(input("Enter your question: "))
            if len(question) == 0:
                raise ValueError
 
            elif question[0] == ' ':
                raise ValueError
 
            break
 
        except ValueError:
            print(f"[!]Error! '{question}' is Invalid.")
 
    question_list.append(question)
    return question
 
 
def get_question_score(qs):
    while True:
        try:
            qs = int(input("Enter Question Score: "))
            if not float(qs):
                raise ValueError
 
            elif qs + (sum(scores)) > 100:
                print(f"{qs + sum(scores)} > 100")
                raise ValueError
            break
 
        except ValueError:
            print(f"Debug | qs={qs}")
            scores_local.clear()
            print(f"[!]Error! Invalid Input. Try Again.")
 
    scores_local.append(qs)
    scores.append(qs)
    return True
 
 
def get_number_of_answers(num=None, minv=None, maxv=None):
    print(f"\tMin={minv} | Max={maxv}")
    while True:
        try:
            num = int(input(f"Number of Answers [{minv}-{maxv}]: "))
            if minv and minv > num:
                print(f"[!]Error! {num} < {minv}")
                raise ValueError
 
            if maxv and maxv < num:
                print(f"[!]Error! {num} > {maxv}")

                raise ValueError
 
            answers_local.append(answer)

        while not is_right:
            is_right = get_right_answer_number(num=len(answers_local))
            right_answer_number[0] = 0
 
        while is_right:
            sure = ask_if_sure(ans="")
            answers.append(right_answer_number[0])
 
            while sure:

                ask_if_continue = ask_continue()

if __name__ == "__main__":

This is input for right answer:

        
              def get_right_answer_number(num, is_right=False):
    print(f"Debug | RightAnswerNumber: {num}")  # Debug
    while True:
        try:
            num = int(input("[?]Right Answer #: "))
            if not float(num):
                raise ValueError
 
            if 0 < num <= number_of_answers[0]:
                is_right = True
                break
            else:
                raise ValueError
 
        except ValueError:
            print("[!]Error! Invalid Input.")
 
    right_answer_number.append(num)
    return is_right

here's the are u sure input function:

        
              def ask_if_sure(ans):   # Returns True
 
    print(f"Debug | RightAnswerNum1st: {right_answer_number}")
    ask_sure = input("Are you sure? [Y/n]: ")
    if ask_sure.lower() == "n":
        right_answer_number.clear()
        print(f"Debug | RightAnswerNumber-N-: {right_answer_number}")
        right_answer_number[0] = 0
        get_right_answer_number(num=0)
 
    elif ask_sure.lower() == "y":
        return True
 
    else:
        print("Error! Please type [Y/n]")
        ask_if_sure(ans="")

And the main() and if __name__ ....

        
          
          
              
              def main(question, question_score, num_of_answers):
 
    question = get_questions(question)
    print(f"Debug | QuestionList: {question_list}")
    question = question_list[-1]
    is_big = get_question_score(question_score)
    while is_big:
        num_of_answers = get_number_of_answers(num=0, minv=2, maxv=4)
        multiple_answers = get_answers(num_of_answers, answer="")
        print(f"Multiple Answer: {answers_local}")
        print(f"NumOfAnswers: {number_of_answers}")    # Debug
        is_right = get_right_answer_number(num=0)
        print("\n****     Summery     ****")
        print(f"Question: {question_list[-1]}\nAnswers: {answers_local}\nRight Answer: {right_answer_number[0]}")
        print(f"Question score: {scores_local}, Total Score: {sum(scores)}, Valid: {is_big}")
        while not is_right:
            is_right = get_right_answer_number(num=len(answers_local))
            right_answer_number[0] = 0
 
        while is_right:
            sure = ask_if_sure(ans="")
            answers.append(right_answer_number[0])
 
            while sure:
                print(f"Debug | answers: {answers}")
 
                ask_if_continue = ask_continue()
                if not ask_if_continue:
                    finish()
 
                while ask_if_continue:
                    restart()
                    break
                break
            break
        break
 
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
 
    question_list = []

    answers_local = []
    answers = []
    right_answer_number = [0]
 
    main(question="", question_score=0, num_of_answers=0)

            

        
      

Thank you for your time!

Fixed!

        
              def ask_if_sure(ans):   # Returns True
    while True:
 
        print(f"Debug | RightAnswerNum1st: {right_answer_number[0]}")
        ask_sure = input("Are you sure? [Y/n]: ")
        if ask_sure.lower() == "n":
            print(f"Debug | RightAnswerNumber-N-: {right_answer_number[0]}")
            get_right_answer_number(num=len(answers_local))
 
        elif ask_sure.lower() == "y":
            break
 
        else:
            print("Error! Please type [Y/n]")
            ask_if_sure(ans="")
 
    answers.append(right_answer_number[0])
    return True

forgot to append the answer to the answers list and deleted the list.clear in main() :)
