How can I acess a def outside of a if/elif statment-CodePudding

I m trying to make a game where you type in commands and the game responds. There is one section of the game where you have to choose a path and type in 1 or 2 and it brings the user to either the path1() or path2() def but when I get to the part and type one path one does not run it just brings up the >>> asking me for a command you can view the whole project here --> https://github.com/CodeMaster-exe/thepengogame but here is the part I am having trouble on.


    elif cmd == "job hut":
        print("Manager: How may I help you?")
        print(f"{user}: Can I get a job?")
        print('''
        Manager: I have 2 jobs to offer: 
        Job 1: A Community manager
        Job 2: A Money manager
        ''')
        sleep(1)
        hmhy1r = int(input("Which would you like? Job (1) or Job (2)?: "))
        if cmd == 1:
            path1()
        elif cmd == 2:
            path2()


    # paths
    def path1():
        print("hi")

    def path2():
        print("Working on path 2 taking you to path 1 in 3 seconds")
        sleep(3)
        path1()

I know I start with an elif but there is an if statement above it so do not mind. there is also a while loop running the cmd = input(">>> ") but it is all the way at line one. So again you can view my full program at github the link in above.

CodePudding user response：

You are trying to compare cmd which is not the variable you have stored the use input in.

Since you written

hmhy1r = input("Which would you like? Job (1) or Job (2)?: ")

You need to check for hmhy1r value

        hmhy1r = int(input("Which would you like? Job (1) or Job (2)?: "))
        if hmhy1r == 1:
            path1()
        elif hmhy1r == 2:
            path2()
