Reading two separate values in one line in python

Question

I need your help. This is my program so far

import turtle
turtle.showturtle()

def turtle_interface():
    while True :
          n = 0
          instructions =          


        

Answer 1

I think it is because of the if len(instructions) > 1: test. If the string has no [n] after it, then there will only be one instruction, and the length will not be greater than 1.

You should try something like this:

def turtle_interface():
    while True :
          n = 0
          instructions = input().split()
          i = instructions[0]
          if len(instructions) > 1:
              n = int(instructions[1])
              if i == 'forward' :
                  turtle.forward(n)
              elif i == 'backward' :
                  turtle.backward(n)
              elif i == 'left' :
                  turtle.left(n)
              elif i == 'right' :
                  turtle.right(n)
          elif i == 'new' :
              turtle.reset()
          elif i == 'quit' :
              break

Note the indentation and placement of the line for if i == 'new'.
