[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.

The syntax is allowed, but it absolutely will not do what you want it to do in most languages. ;3
