Hit or miss EOF error

Question

I'm trying to complete the hit or miss project in python for beginners but keep getting an EOF error. My research suggests it's not seeing any input. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Here is my code so far:

#your code goes here
x = 0
points = 100
while x < 5:
score = input()
if score == 'hit':
points += 10
if score == 'miss':
points -= 20

Answer 1

John
My last post was not exact. My apologies for the confusion.

When you hit RUN, the code will look for 5 inputs which will be supplied by Sololearn, but if you wish to test, then use the following format.

Hit RUN # Now enter 5 options
hit #enter
hit # enter
hit # enter
miss # enter
hit # Submit

Each time you hit ENTER a new line will appear for you to place your next input.

SUBMIT will then allow your code to process the inputs

Answer 2

Your updated code now works, except you haven't added print(poits) to output the result.

In Sololearn, you must input all your inputs before hitting RUN.

Your code allows 5 shots, so try:
hit
hit
hit
miss
hit
RUN

Answer 3

You aren't incrementing x inside while loop , so it keeps asking asking for input infinitely.

Answer 4

Well spotted I've updated the code but still getting the error. Here is the updated code:

#your code goes here
x = 0
points = 100
while x < 5:
x += 1
score = input()
if score == 'hit':
points += 10
if score == 'miss':
points -= 20

Answer 5

All good figured it out. I was looking for 5 inputs but there was only 4 so the EOF error was being produced on the 5th run through the loop. Thanks for your help

Answer 6

How do I input all the inputs before running the code? I thought the input prompts at each run through of the program? I assumed Solo Learn would have written the project to see the input and then input a random selection of "hit" or "miss"

Answer 7

Guys can you help me also
score = 100
count= 0
shoot1= str(input())
shoot2= str(input())
shoot3= str(input())
shoot4= str(input())

while count <4:
#First shoot
if shoot1 == "hit":
score+=10
elif shoot1 == "miss":
score-=20
#Second shoot
elif shoot2 == "hit":
score+=10
elif shoot2 == "miss":
score -= 20
#Third shoot
elif shoot3 == "hit":
score+=10
elif shoot3 == "miss":
score -=20
#Forth shoot
elif shoot4 == "hit":
score +=10
elif shoot4 == "miss":
score -=20
else:
print("That\'s not a correct input")
count +=1
print(score)
