Tell us what’s happening:

Hello
I am not able to resolve step 21 and 23. The moment I change to have a different approach, all the steps get reset even if most of the code is same.

Your code so far

distance_mi = 11
is_raining = True
has_bike = True
has_car = False
has_ride_share_app = True

if distance_mi == 0:
    print('False')
elif distance_mi <= 1 and not is_raining:
    print('True')
elif distance_mi <= 1 and is_raining:
    print('False')
elif 1 > distance_mi or distance_mi <= 6 and is_raining and not has_bike:
    print('False')
elif 1 > distance_mi <= 6 or not is_raining and not has_bike:
    print('False')    
elif 1 > distance_mi <= 6 or has_bike and not is_raining:
    print('True')
elif distance_mi >= 6 and has_ride_share_app:
    print('True')
elif distance_mi > 6 and has_car:
    print('True')
elif distance_mi > 6 and not(has_car or has_ride_share_app):
    print('False')

Welcome to the forum @cfar

What happens when the is_rainingvariable is set to False?

Happy coding

[cfar]

hi teller thanks for the clue, but now step 23 is giving error. How can step 23 be wrong when it has no context of rain valriable?

[Teller]

Hi @cfar

What happens when you change is_raining to False?

Does the output change? If it changes, then the logic before the check for a ride share app is activated. In that case, the output is not dependent on the ride share app.

Happy coding

Hi @Teller

When i change to is_raining = False

Again step 21 and step 23 are not passed.

I feel that the passing is not stable earlier I was able to pass step 21 with the same set of variables and now it wont pass!

[cfar]

now that i am checking again the step 23 is not passed with the same set of variables

[Teller]

Hi @cfar

If is_raining is set to Falsethe logic below will print False to the console.

@cfar

elif 1 > distance_mi <= 6 or not is_raining and not has_bike:
    print('False')    
elif 1 > distance_mi <= 6 or has_bike and not is_raining:
    print('True')
elif distance_mi >= 6 and has_ride_share_app:
    print('True')

The last else if statement will not execute, therefore test 23 will fail.

Happy coding

@teller thanks so much, does that mean that i have to keep trying with combinations and permutations of the other variables too to pass the test?

also when is_raining = False

which means is_raining is not raining,

then to make is_raining as positive i need to add not

so then not is_raining means it is raining, and I update the code but then i dont pass step 20 and pass step 23 and others

elif 1 > distance_mi <= 6 or is_raining and not has_bike:

print(‘False’)

elif 1 > distance_mi <= 6 or has_bike and is_raining:

print(‘True’)

elif distance_mi > 6 and has_ride_share_app:

print(‘True’)

[Teller]

You current code will fail because of the where the check for the is_raining variable is located.

Think of it as, you go to room one, nothing inside, you go to room two find a map, you go to room three step inside and fall down a hole because the room was dark. There is a torch in room four, but you’ll never get to it.

What could you do to avoid falling into a pit?

[cfar]

not go in the dark rooms

[Teller]

In your code the is_raining variable is like a pit. It takes you to the exit of the code. What can you implement in your code so you don’t exit early?

[cfar]

@ teller

this is were i am today, i think i am avoiding rain but not quite really…getting issue with step 20

if distance_mi == 0:

print('False') # 15

elif distance_mi <= 1 and not is_raining:

print('True') # 16

if distance_mi > 1 or distance_mi <= 6 and has_bike:

print('True') # 20

elif distance_mi > 6 and has_ride_share_app:

print('True') # 21

elif distance_mi > 6 and has_car:

print('True') # 22

else:

print('False') # 23, 17

Hi @cfar

The console shouldn’t print two results.

Happy coding

[Teller]

Hi @cfar

I’ve edited your post to improve the readability of the 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 (').

Happy coding
