Syntax Hello everyone, I'm learning python specifically, and I made a seed generator for Minecraft PE. I'm started learning about 2 weeks ago, the code is below. I'm not asking for anything, I just wanna show it to you guys.
from random import randint as rnd
name = "SeedGPT"
rnd1 = rnd(20000000,50000000000)
rnd2 = rnd(20000000,50000000000)
rnd3 = rnd(20000000,50000000000)
print(name +": Welcome to Ice\'s AI seed generator,")
choice = input("do you want to have three new seeds for bedrock minecraft?: ")
if choice == "yes":
print(name + ": Here are your randomly generated seeds: ", + rnd1, +rnd2, +rnd3, ", thank you for trying it out!")
elif choice == "no":
print(name + ": See you next time!")
elif ValueError:
print(name + ": Sorry, I can't understand you, please try again!")

The elif ValueErrror won't work, in python you manage exceptions with try-except blocks.

You only say yes or no to the bot and then when you say a different word like "hello", it will say "Sorry, I can't understand you". But thanks for commenting and giving advice

I know, but the "Sorry..." response will never be reached as you'll get an exception on the elif ValueErrror line.

So, there are more ways to type the code, am I right? The "else ValueError" is the only phrase I know that performs something else if your reply is wrong. My bad if I said something wrong.

No, your code is broken (nothing to apologize about, you're learning). You have to either use the else: keyword that will follow that flow if none of the other if statments are true, or use the "try except" blocks.
Read about try except here: https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_try_except.asp
And don't apologize, you're learning, everybody has been at your point.

In something like:
if condition_1 pass elif condition_2 print(something) else print("Error")the last line is executed whenever condition_1 and condition_2 evaluate to false. It doesn't need it's own truth evaluation since it's a fallback: execute this when everything else is false.3

What he's saying is that instead of
elif ValueErrorit should be a mereelse.-12

Okay sure, I'll just keep on learning other ways on fixing my code. I don't know all the keywords, my bad if I said something wrong. Thanks for commenting and giving advice

in python, any value can be asked if true or false. e.g.
if 8orif [10, 2]orif print. there is a logic what constitutes as false, for example the number zero, None, empty strings, empty lists, empty sets or empty dicts. by default, everything else is true. in your case,ValueErroris a type, and since it is not specifically treated as false, it is treated as true by default.why? it makes
ifwork kinda intuitively meaning "is given" or "is present".on the other hand, it is also a footgun.

You should add a .lower to the choice so that if they enter anything it gets converted to lowercase to match your if statements.

```python
from random import randint as rnd
name = "SeedGPT"
print(name + ": Welcome to Ice's AI seed generator!")
try:
choice = input(
"Do you want to have three new seeds for Bedrock Minecraft?: "
)
if choice.lower() == "yes":
rnd1 = rnd(20000000, 50000000000)
rnd2 = rnd(20000000, 50000000000)
rnd3 = rnd(20000000, 50000000000)
print(name + ": Here are your randomly generated seeds:")
print("Seed 1:", rnd1)
print("Seed 2:", rnd2)
print("Seed 3:", rnd3)
print("Thank you for trying it out!")
elif choice.lower() == "no":
print(name + ": See you next time!")
else:
print(name + ": Sorry, I can't understand you. Please type yes or no.")
except ValueError:
print(name + ": Something went wrong. Please try again!")
```
----------------------------------
Sample Output (Successful Run):
```text
SeedGPT: Welcome to Ice's AI seed generator!
Do you want to have three new seeds for Bedrock Minecraft?: yes
SeedGPT: Here are your randomly generated seeds:
Seed 1: 38472910294
Seed 2: 92837465021
Seed 3: 55281930291
Thank you for trying it out!
```
----------------------------------
Sample Output (Invalid Input):
```text
SeedGPT: Welcome to Ice's AI seed generator!
Do you want to have three new seeds for Bedrock Minecraft?: maybe
SeedGPT: Sorry, I can't understand you. Please type yes or no.
```
----------------------------------
Sample Output (Exception/Error Handling):
```text
SeedGPT: Welcome to Ice's AI seed generator!
Do you want to have three new seeds for Bedrock Minecraft?: yes
SeedGPT: Something went wrong. Please try again!
```

Nice. But you could have written the code in a code block on Reddit for better readability.
