I'm really, really new to programming and have been working on this code for the past two months. I understand if it overall isn't functioning efficiently, but I'm just trying to answer the question I'm stuck on.
I have a variable named user_text. On screen, an input box appears that allows users to answer the questions when they appear. I want to save each answer they type for each question into a list ex. "On a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being not at all and 5 being all the time: Are you experiencing any pain?" User_text = 1 "On a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being not at all and 5 being all the time: Have you ever contimplated suicide?" User_text = 4 "On a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being not at all and 5 being all the time: Do you ever have trouble sleeping?" User_ text = 3
print(answers) = [1,4,3]
However, I run into two issues when I try to implement this into my code. One, it doesn't save the input at all, returning a blank list. Two, it saves input, but only from one of those responses so it would just save the answer 4 not 1, and 3. Three, It messes up my current_dialogue_index skipping questions.
I want to have the list of user input to utilize later in the program depending on the added up scores.
If anyone can provide any help at all, that would be greatly appreciated. I'm learning as I go and I'm more of an artist then a programmer, so explaining in basic terms is also appreciated. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to help me!
Here's my code:
#Dialogue
messages = ["Hello and welcome to Dr. Collins' office. (Press the 'Enter' key to continue).",
"I presume you have an appointment with us today?",
"To use our tele-health system click on the input box below when prompted.",
"When the input box is green, you may begin to type your response.",
"Now, please hold a moment. Dr. Collins will be with you shortly."
]
intro = ["Hello there, my name is Dr. Collins. What is your name?",
"Hello",
]
questions = ["On a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being not at all and 5 being all the time: Are you experiencing any pain?",
"On a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being not at all and 5 being all the time: Have you ever contimplated suicide?",
"On a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being not at all and 5 being all the time: Do you ever have trouble sleeping?",
"On a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being not at all and 5 being all the time: Do you ever have trouble concentrating?",
"On a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being not at all and 5 being all the time: Do you struggle with poor appetite or overeating?"
]
Final_Messages = ["Thank you for you time today.",
"I'm going to review your questions.",
"Your prescription will print shortly.",
"When you received your prescription, you may click the 'Finish' button."
