Py variables

[N33n0Gr33n]

I want to write a script that responds to variables as negative or a positive.
Ex:

code: [select]
def good_bad (*args)
       Me, you = args
       print " blah %s blaah %s " % (Me, you)
       print " who would you rather be? "

Me = # a positive a number like 8
you = # a negative number like 7
raw_input(Enter me or you):

the negative and positives give certain
answers using if and elif.

Do you mean odd and even, not positive and negative?

7 vs 8

-1 vs 1

[N33n0Gr33n]

Yes, but instead of receiving true or false my output would be a string.

[grinch]

Does it have to accept odd or even numbers as choices, or is inputting a letter like "A" for Me and "B" for You, or even "M" or "Y" as choices ok?

Well to check for numbers being even, use modulus by 2. If it returns 0, it's even, odd will return 1.


if not num % 2:
  # Code for an even number, like 4
elif num % 2:
  # Code for an odd number, like 7


If your doing negative or positive, use greater than or less than signs.


if num > 0:
  # Num is positive
elif num < 0:
  # Num is negative

Both of you guys are on the money, I changed it and basically used if elif as it should. I used names for variables I'll give you guys a sample just to give a visual.

Code: [ select ]


def politics(*args):
   Democrat, Republican = args
   print "President Obama'\s a %s, Romney'\s a %s" % (Democrat, Republican)
   print("Who will you vote for?")
   
politics("Democrat", "Republican")   

Romney = 1
Obama = 2
answer = int(input("Enter your choice 1, 2:"))
if answer == Romney:
   print"So you like Romney?"
elif answer > Romney:
   print "So you like President Obama?"
print
print
prompt = 'press enter'
raw_input(prompt),

a = "poor"
b = "rich" 
r = "Republican" 
d = "Democrat"
print "Some people say when your rich you vote %s" % r
print "And if you vote %r" % d
print "you are %s" % a
