When I run the following, with the conditions course level 6 with over 260 points and a 0 in maths I'm not getting the "Unfortunately you do not meet the requirements to progress to third level, At least 260 points and a pass in Mathematics are required." message.
But when run with the conditions course level 5 with over 260 points and 0 in maths I do get the message?
if course == 5:
print"Your total CAO points are " ,total
elif course == 6:
print"Your total CAO points are " , total*1.25
total= total*1.25
if total >=260:
if math>=25:
print "You are eligible to progress to third level"
elif total >=260:
math=0
print "Unfortunately you do not meet the requirements to progress to third level, At least 260 points and a pass in Mathematics are required."
elif total <=260:
math=0
print "Unfortunately you do not meet the requirements to progress to third level, At least 260 points and a pass in Mathematics are required."
Once one test in an if-elif-else suite passes none of the other tests will be checked. In your code the condition in your elif
is identical to the one in your if
. That means the code under the elif
will never be reached.
if total >= 260:
if math >= 25: # failing this if-statement does not negate the "if total >= 260"
print "You are eligible to progress to third level"
elif total >= 260: # will never be reached because it's identical to prior if-statement
math=0
print "Unfortunately you do not meet the requirements to progress to third level, At least 260 points and a pass in Mathematics are required."
elif total <= 260: # is 260 in our out? if 260 is a pass change from <= to <
math=0
print "Unfortunately you do not meet the requirements to progress to third level, At least 260 points and a pass in Mathematics are required."
There is a better way to write your conditions. Your error message contains the word and
:
At least 260 points and a pass in Mathematics are required.
So use and
in your condition to simplify your logic:
if total >= 260 and math >= 25: # must meet both conditions
print "You are eligible to progress to third level"
else:
math = 0
print "Unfortunately you do not meet the requirements to progress to third level. "\
"At least 260 points and a pass in Mathematics are required."
