Build an Email Simulator - Step 34

Tell us what’s happening:

You should create an if statement to check if the actual_index is less than 0 or greater than or equal to the length of the self.emails list.

Your code so far

class Email:
    def __init__(self, sender, receiver, subject, body):
        self.sender = sender
        self.receiver = receiver
        self.subject = subject
        self.body = body
        self.read = False

    def mark_as_read(self):
        self.read = True

    def display_full_email(self):
        self.mark_as_read()
        print('\n--- Email ---')
        print(f'From: {self.sender.name}')
        print(f'To: {self.receiver.name}')
        print(f'Subject: {self.subject}')
        print(f'Body: {self.body}')
        print('------------\n')

    def __str__(self):
        status = 'Read' if self.read else 'Unread'
        return f"[{status}] From: {self.sender.name} | Subject: {self.subject}"
class User:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
        self.inbox = Inbox()

    def send_email(self, receiver, subject, body):
        email = Email(sender=self, receiver=receiver, subject=subject, body=body)
        receiver.inbox.receive_email(email)

class Inbox:
    def __init__(self):
        self.emails = []

    def receive_email(self, email):
        self.emails.append(email)

    def list_emails(self):
        if not self.emails:
            print('Your inbox is empty.\n')
            return
        print('\nYour Emails:')
        for i, email in enumerate(self.emails, start=1):
            print(f'{i}. {email}')

    def read_email(self, index):
        if not self.emails:
            print('Inbox is empty.\n')
            return
        else:
            actual_index = index - 1
            if actual_index < 0 or actual_index >= len(self.emails):
                print('Invalid email number.\n')
                return

Hi

Do the instructions ask you to add an else statement? I suggest you reset the step and only do what is asked and don’t change the existing code.

You are along the right lines.
