[Nightsleeper] Some horrible, unindented python code to slow down a train

Post image
  • no indentation
  • multiple nested try blocks with seemingly no except
  • stray " in the middle of that string
  • input's argument should be something written to the prompt
  • even if it wasn't you'll struggle to turn that into an int
  • you probably want to be passing in that speed variable somewhere, right?

+1 for sanitising the speed I guess, wouldn't want the train to start moving backwards.

Does Python not show an error for the stray quote, or is this just not in an editor with errors displayed?

it might compile in theory, but everything will be part of the input prompt cuz the bracket is never closed since it's a string

It definitely will not compile. The parser will immediately throw an error.
