Can someone help me with this school project-CodePudding

find=(input("Are you trying to find how much the plant will grow or if you will need to 
replace the filter?"))
if find=="how much the plant will grow":
 p=float(input("how big is the plant now (in inches)"))
 u=float(input("in how many days do you want to know how big the plant will get?"))
 t=float(u*0.00821917808)
 h=float(t p)
if h < 16:
  print(t, "days")
elif print("The plant has reached maturity and will not grow anymore"):

if find=="replace the filter":
 u=float(input("when was the last time you replaced the filter (in days)?"))
 j=float(u/365)
 if j < 5:
  print("no need to replace the filter yet")
 elif print("you need to replace the filter, luckily it is under waranty and you can get a new 
one for free")

Heres the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 11
    if find=="replace the filter":
                             ^
IndentationError: expected an indented block

CodePudding user response：

Near the middle of your code sample, you have elif print("The plant has reached maturity and will not grow anymore"): but nothing afterwards.

Python is expecting an indented chunk of code below that statement, but all it gets is another if statement a few lines later, which is where is the error is.

Edit: I just realized that you probably didn't even mean to use an elif-statement there in the first place. Did you mean to do else: print("The plant has reached maturity and will not grow anymore")?

CodePudding user response：

You have a couple indentation errors, best practice is to use 4*spaces when going inside a condition or loop. Also I think you are using elif when else is needed you might want to take a look on the differences between them

Here your code with a couple changes I made:

find=(input("Are you trying to find how much the plant will grow or if you will need to replace the filter?"))

if find=="how much the plant will grow":

    p=float(input("how big is the plant now (in inches)"))
    u=float(input("in how many days do you want to know how big the plant will get?"))
    t=float(u*0.00821917808)
    h=float(t p)

    if h < 16:
        print(t, "days")
    else:
        print("The plant has reached maturity and will not grow anymore")

elif find=="replace the filter":

    u=float(input("when was the last time you replaced the filter (in days)?"))
    j=float(u/365)

    if j < 5:
        print("no need to replace the filter yet")
    else:
        print("you need to replace the filter, luckily it is under waranty and you can get a new one for free")
