Python: Hoarding Gold

[darklord999]

here is my code:

Collect 25 gold, and then tell Naria the total.

Use break to stop collecting when totalGold >= 25.

totalGold = 0
while True:
coin = hero.findNearestItem()
if coin and totalGold >= 25:
# Pick up the coin.
hero.moveXY(coin.pos.x, coin.pos.y)
# Add the coin’s value to totalGold.
# Get its value with: coin.value
totalGold += coin.value
pass
if totalGold >= 25:
# This breaks out of the loop to run code at the bottom.
# The loop ends, code after the loop will run.
break

Done collecting gold!

hero.moveXY(58, 33)

Go to Naria and say how much gold you collected.

hero.say(totalGold)

ok like this?

Collect 25 gold, and then tell Naria the total.

Use break to stop collecting when totalGold >= 25.

totalGold = 0
while True:
coin = hero.findNearestItem()
if coin and totalGold >= 25:
# Pick up the coin.
hero.moveXY(coin.pos.x, coin.pos.y)
# Add the coin’s value to totalGold.
# Get its value with: coin.value
totalGold += coin.value
pass
if totalGold >= 25:
# This breaks out of the loop to run code at the bottom.
# The loop ends, code after the loop will run.
break

Done collecting gold!

hero.moveXY(58, 33)

Go to Naria and say how much gold you collected.

hero.say(totalGold)

You did it partially, you need to put the code here:

@darklord999

type or paste code here

Try putting the break inside of here

@darklord999

if totalGold >= 25:

[darklord999]

yes it is like that already

[milton.jinich]

Sorry it is hard for me to read unformatted code

[milton.jinich]

Found the problem instead of this

@darklord999

totalGold += coin.value

do this

totalGold = totalGold + coin.value

Your code didn’t work since you didn’t define totalGold. I hope this helps.

if coin and totalGold >= 25:

@darklord999, shouldn’t totalGold be less than 25? If your gold is 0, the code won’t run at all. Also, keeping totalGold += coin.value is fine, it still adds the coin’s value.

[milton.jinich]

He is right it can’t be greater than 30 but he has to get 25 but if you have 24 and the nearest coin gives you 2 gold you get stuck and you code won’t run. But if you put that greater sign it is saying it okay to get 1 more coin to get 25 and less than 30.
