Tell us what’s happening:

When I change the variable qty or the bool, the output changes but all the tests fail. I am unsure of where I am going wrong on this.

Do I not have enough information in the If / elif statements to determine the correct output?

Your code so far

distance_mi = 5
is_raining = False
has_bike = True 
has_car = True
has_ride_share_app = True 

if not isinstance(distance_mi, int):
    print("False")
elif distance_mi <=1 and is_raining == False:
    print("True")
else:
    print("False")

if distance_mi > 1 and distance_mi <= 6 and has_bike == True and is_raining == False:
    print("True")
else:
    print("False")

if distance_mi > 6 and has_car == True or has_ride_share_app == True:
    print("True")
else:
    print("False")

how many things is your code supposed to print? Are you sure it’s three, and not only one?

with these values

we are in this case:

specifically, we have a bike and is not raining, so it should be True
instead I see

False
True
True
3

I assumed with the 3 different statements it should print 3, but what I am understanding now is that I should only be getting 1 output once I run the code, correct?

If that is the case, should I bunch all of my code into a giant if / elif statement?

4

if that works, why not?

5

What if distance is 0? That’s still an int, but is it truthy?

I will try this and report back.

Here is what I have updated my code to. The issue that I am still running into is when I change the is_raining to true. It still outputs True.

distance_mi = .5

is_raining = False

has_bike = True

has_car = True

has_ride_share_app = True

## number 4 and 5

if distance_mi <= 0:

print("False")

elif distance_mi <=1 and is_raining == False:

print("True")

## number 6

elif distance_mi > 1 and distance_mi <= 6 and has_bike == True and is_raining == False:

print("True")

## number 7

elif distance_mi > 6 and has_car == True or has_ride_share_app == True:

print("True")

else:

print("False")

You should use the print() function to display the result.

Please take a look at Test #14.

I have print, but I will try to reduce the amount. Maybe it is triggering it somewhere else in the code?

10

Shouldn’t your function return a result that gets printed?

11

hi @dhess please take a look at the lab, there isn’t a function to create here (this is before functions are taught)

12

would you mind formatting your code?

When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add the backticks.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

13

Oops! Definitely no function. Thanks for making that clear.

Revised advice: Shouldn’t your code store a result that gets printed?

EDIT: Sorry; the print statements in your code are fine; I just approached it differently when I did it. Both approaches work.

Here is what I have updated my code to. The issue that I am still running into is when I change the is_raining to true. It still outputs True.

distance_mi = .5

is_raining = False

has_bike = True

has_car = True

has_ride_share_app = True

## number 4 and 5

if distance_mi <= 0:

print("False")

elif distance_mi <=1 and is_raining == False:

print("True")

## number 6

elif distance_mi > 1 and distance_mi <= 6 and has_bike == True and is_raining == False:

print("True")

## number 7

elif distance_mi > 6 and has_car == True or has_ride_share_app == True:

print("True")

else:

print("False")

Yes, I can do that in the future, I tried to go back and edit the previous post and it would not let me due to time.

15

can you double check the code you posted? nothing is indented there, it should not work

16

I have copied and pasted what I see, the code in the lab has indenting. I am currently only stuck on # 17 & #18

distance_mi = .5
is_raining = True
has_bike = False
has_car = True
has_ride_share_app = True 

## number 4 and 5
if distance_mi <= 0:
    print("False")
elif distance_mi <=1 and is_raining == False:
    print("True")
## number 6
elif distance_mi > 1 and distance_mi <= 6 and has_bike == True and is_raining == False:
    print("True")
## number 7
elif distance_mi > 6 and has_car == True or has_ride_share_app == True:
    print("True")
else:
    print("False")

try running your code with this: Python Tutor code visualizer: Visualize code in Python, JavaScript, C, C++, and Java

see which is it

Please disregard. I have figured out the code needed to pass the lab. I won’t post it here, I just further read the questions and what was needed, added 2 more lines of code and I passed.

I’m unsure if it is the “Right way” to do it, but it worked. Thank you for the help!

as long as you figured out where the True was coming from, it’s an important thing to understand about logic operators
