how could i call the above function so that when i input something like 21 for the mark the ouput is "the grade is A", and when the user inputs something more than 25 and less than 0 hes asked to input it again..?
def mark2Grade(mark):
if mark >=20:
return "A"
elif mark >=15:
return "B"
elif mark >=10:
return "C"
else:
return "Fail"
def gradeTest():
mark=input("please enter the mark: ")
print "your grade is", mark2Gradeyou almost have it, all you have to do is to call the function with mark as an argument like this:
def mark2Grade( m ):
if m >= 20:
return "A"
elif m >= 15:
return "B"
elif m >= 10:
return "C"
else:
return "Fail"
def gradeTest():
mark = input( "Please enter the mark: " )
print "Your grade is", mark2Grade( mark )
gradeTest()See if you can figure out how to implement the check for validity, i.e. < 0 and > 25 :)

anything on these lines?
def gradeTest():
mark = input( "Please enter the mark: " )
if mark >25:
print "Your grade is", mark2Grade( mark )
else:
print"try again"
gradeTest()
gradeTest()hi,
def gradeTest(): mark = input( "Please enter the mark: " ) if mark >25: print "Your grade is", mark2Grade( mark ) else: print"try again" gradeTest() gradeTest()
be careful with the indentation for the else statement here :)
Now, this means that the result will be shown only if the mark is greater than 25, which is not helpful. You need the mark to be in range 0 <= mark <= 25 right? so the if would be:
def gradeTest():
mark = input( "Please enter the mark: " )
if 0 > mark or mark > 25:
print "Try again!"
gradeTest()
else:
print "Your grade is", mark2Grade( mark )

yeah i just wasn't sure about how you do the second bit which is less than 25 and more than 0.... i was using the "and" operation whcih did not work.... thx for the help, you are very helpful..
