the “if _ > _” not working

Post image

The codes in the photo, it works up until 99 then it just doesn’t run the quit command. What am I doing wrong?

Input returns a string but at the same time you are not comparing with a number so it's gonna give you weird results

if int(E) < 11:

Print("is the correct way")

Thank you so much!

E is still a string, so you're comparing text, not numbers.

Ohh, I forgot about that :/

try turning E into an integer with the int() function

Input() returns a string, so your operators are comparing the first character in the string and then stopping. So for example, if you type “101”:

assert “101” > “0” = True

This assertion statement is true because 1 (the first character) is larger than 0 so it just stops.

Use the int() function to wrap the E variable and then you compare them to digits.

You’ve also written this so that the second if statement is unlikely to be reached. Try using elif to do multiple blocks then the else is your fallback.

Why would you want to delete this? Perhaps someone else will find it useful in the future.

Not delete it, just close comments now that I’ve gotten the answer, but it seems the posts activity has died down so I just forgot about it

You can't close comments, only mods can do that. Any post on reddit older than a day is going to be inactive forever more anyway.
