Having trouble with add_player

The code runs but when input for adding a new player is shown, when I type yes it gives a name error that add_player is not defined. How to resolve ?

More than "easier", posting your code makes it possible for us to help out. :wink:

players = []

add_player = input("Do you want to add a new player? (yes/no) ")

while add_players.lower() == yes: name = input("\n Enter the name of player to add to the team: ") players.append(name) add_players = input("would you like to add anotehr player? (yes/no) ")

player_number = 1 for player in players: print(f"Player {player_number,player}") player_number +=1

keeper =input(f"please select the goal letter by selecting the player number {1-len(players)}")

keeper = int(keeper)

print(f"great!! the goalkeeper for the game will be {(players[keeper-1])}")

I can only paste like this! I cannot add screenshot of my image code.

It looks like you created a variable named "add_player" (singular) but then referenced "add_players" (plural). Did the message possibly say "add_players" was not defined?

And when posting code, use Markdown formatting to preserve your indentation.

I just changed the name add_players but didn't run the code. It again shows me the name yes is not defined. Better I rewrite code from scratch and try again.

Thanks for help. Happy coding for you too mate :)

Did you notice that you had "add_players" in two places? :wink:

players = []

add_player = input("Do you want to add a new player? (yes/no) ")

while add_player.lower() == "yes": 
  name = input("\n Enter the name of player to add to the team: ") 
  players.append(name) 
  add_player = input("would you like to add anotehr player? (yes/no) ")

else:


  player_number = 1 

  for player in players: 
    print(" Player {}: {}".format(player_number,player)) 
    player_number += 1

  keeper =input("please select the goal keeper by selecting the player number. (1 - {}): ".format(len(players)))

  keeper = int(keeper)

  print(f"great!! the goalkeeper for the game will be {(players[keeper-1])}")

Your code was a little messy but I made a few changes and fixed it, I hope that helps.!!
