local variable 'count' referenced before assignment-CodePudding

Want it to count everytime someone says hi or hey, but I cant make the variable to 0

 @client.event
    async def on_message(ctx):
        ctx.content=ctx.content.lower()
        if 'hi' in ctx.content:
            count = count   1
        if 'hey' in ctx.content:
            count = count   1
        if ctx.content == "!count":
            print("yes")
            await ctx.channel.send(count)

CodePudding user response：

Declare count at the start before you start counting

CodePudding user response：

It looks like count is defined after the calls to it. Try moving that line above the function definition:

count = 0
@client.event
    async def on_message(ctx):
    # -- snip --

... or

@client.event
async def on_message(ctx):
    count = 0
    # -- snip --

(FYI, this code will not persist the count, e.g. it will be reset every time the script reboots.)
