Python string or if statement issue

Question

So, I'm making this program to help study for my Japanese class. As you may be able to see it shuffles a list of words and displays them. Then the program asks for a translation. It's supposed to check if the answer is correct or not and display the appropriate message. However, regardless of whether the answer is correct or not it will display all of the "incorrect" messages. My question is how to fix this issue. Please, I need help, and I would like to finish this before I take the next level of the Japanese class. Thank you to anyone who is willing to help me out a bit.

Answer 1

There are several issues.

Firstly, you are comparing words instead of word[index] in

if words == 'ano' and translation == 'um':

and in other places.

Secondly, for the logic to work you'd need to restructure every if statement to prevent lots of Incorrect messages printed out for every input.

Rather that trying to fix this, I propose a more data-driven approach:

import random

dictionary = {'ano': 'um', 'ima': 'now', ...}
words = list(dictionary.items())
random.shuffle(words)

for word, translation in words:
    print(word)
    answer = input('Enter the translation: ')

    if answer == translation:
        print('Correct!')
    else:
        print('Incorrect.')
        print('The correct answer is: %s.' % translation)

Answer 2

You should really use a dictionary, or atleast two lists for this.

words = {
    "word1": "answer1",
    "word2": "answer2",
    "word3": "answer3"
}
for word in words:
    answer = input("Translate '" + word + "':")
    if answer == words[word]:
        print("Correct!")
    else:
        print("Fail! Correct translation would be: " + words[word])

That might be somewhat wrong, I'm on a mobile and can't remember the syntax for dictionary iterating atm, you might have to convert it into a list of tuples first.

edit: While I was slowtyping with my phone, wild 50 answers appeared. Sorry for the extra answer :P

Answer 3

Just a suggestion, I would use a program like this instead of all of those if else clauses

import random

translations = {'ano': 'um', 'ima': 'now', 'eego': 'english'}

japanese = translations.keys()
random.shuffle(japanese)

for word in japanese:
    print word
    english = raw_input("Enter the translation: ")
    if english.lower() == translations[word]:
        print "Correct"
    else:
        print "Incorrect"
        print "The correct answer is %s" % translations[word]
