how to ask for input once only python code example
Example 1: python check if input() gives error
try:
age = int(input("Please enter your age: "))
except ValueError:
print("Sorry, I didn't understand that.")
else:
if age >= 18:
print("You are able to vote in the United States!")
else:
print("You are not able to vote in the United States.")
Example 2: python double check if wants to execute funtion
def sanitised_input(prompt, type_=None, min_=None, max_=None, range_=None):
if min_ is not None and max_ is not None and max_ < min_:
raise ValueError("min_ must be less than or equal to max_.")
while True:
ui = input(prompt)
if type_ is not None:
try:
ui = type_(ui)
except ValueError:
print("Input type must be {0}.".format(type_.__name__))
continue
if max_ is not None and ui > max_:
print("Input must be less than or equal to {0}.".format(max_))
elif min_ is not None and ui < min_:
print("Input must be greater than or equal to {0}.".format(min_))
elif range_ is not None and ui not in range_:
if isinstance(range_, range):
template = "Input must be between {0.start} and {0.stop}."
print(template.format(range_))
else:
template = "Input must be {0}."
if len(range_) == 1:
print(template.format(*range_))
else:
expected = " or ".join((
", ".join(str(x) for x in range_[:-1]),
str(range_[-1])
))
print(template.format(expected))
else:
return ui
