1,451 PointsI had ChatGBT rewrite my code to include error handling.. This is what it gave.. Nice and clean
# Create an empty list to maintain the player names
players_names = []
# Function to handle adding players
def add_players():
while True:
add_players_input = input("Would you like to add players to the list? (Yes/No?) ").lower()
if add_players_input == "yes":
player_name = input("Enter the name of the player to add to the team: ")
players_names.append(player_name)
elif add_players_input == "no":
break
else:
print("Invalid input! Please enter 'Yes' or 'No'.")
# Function to safely select the goalkeeper
def select_goalkeeper():
while True:
try:
keeper = int(input(f"Please select the goalkeeper by entering the player's number (1-{len(players_names)}): "))
if 1 <= keeper <= len(players_names):
return keeper
else:
print(f"Please select a valid number between 1 and {len(players_names)}.")
except ValueError:
print("Invalid input! Please enter a number.")
# Call the function to add players
add_players()
# Print the number of players on the team
print(f"\nThere are {len(players_names)} players on the team")
# Print the player number and the player name
for i, player in enumerate(players_names, 1):
print(f"Player {i}: {player}")
# Safely select the goalkeeper
keeper = select_goalkeeper()
# Print the goalkeeper's name
print(f"The goalkeeper's name is {players_names[keeper - 1]}!")

An even better way to share code and make your issue easy to replicate is to make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here. Here's a video that explains how to make a workspace snapshot.
