Why this function doesn't works?

[Hawkeye Python]

Incomplete dice game function, dunno why does'nt works...

If you're not using windows, change the dir. "C:/"

def bet(Bet):
    try:
        f = open('C:/money.txt')
        print f
        money = f.readline()
        f.close()
        print ('You have', money, 'Dollars. Wanna play dice(y/n)?')
        v = raw_input()
        if v == 'y':
            # here i'm printing those values because they seem to be bugged when "money = money - Bet", but not in print Bet or print Money
            print money
            print Bet
            money = money - Bet
            dice = random.randrange(1,7)
            if dice == 6:
                money = money + (Bet * 5)
                print '6! Yey! You have', money, 'Dollars'
            else:
                print 'Damm, a', dice, '!', 'Yo have now', money, 'dollars.'
                pass
        else:
            pass
    except IOError:
        money = 1000
        file = open('c:/money.txt', 'w')
        file.write ('1000')
        file.close()
        bet(Bet)

It reports:

>>> bet(10)
<open file 'C:/money.txt', mode 'r' at 0x015A4340>
('You have', '1000', 'Dollars. Wanna play dice(y/n)?')

How dos your money.txt look?

Change to this money = int(money) - Bet .

Type check print type(money) . print type(Bet) Your desgin could be better, a long funtion that only ends(no loop)
Try to make a main function that has meny and question then that function call the bet function.
Betting is done and it goes back to main.

Replace line 5 with money = int(f.readline().strip()) .

gee thanks, that worked

I'll read about "int"

[Stefano Mtangoo]

int is simple function that changes "numeric" strings into integers. There is also double(), str() etc

[The_Kernel]

it's failing because you're trying to subtract an int (Bet) from a string (money). You need to convert the string you read in from the money file into an int. You can use the built-in function int(string) to do that.
