Python Boolean error?

Ok so I'm creating a loop:

def equ(par1,par2):
    con1=4/par1

    ready=False
    add=False

    if ready==True:
        if add==True:
            par2+=con1
            add=False
            print("true")
        elif add==False:
            par2-=con1
            add=True
            print("False")
    elif ready==False:
        par2=con1
    ready=True
    input()
    return par2

Every time I run the program it doesn't do what it's supposed to. I notice that it will NOT change ready to true. Could any one give me some help? THANKS! :)

First, you have no looping construct. You only have a linear flow of logic.

Second, ready==True will never be true, since it is explicitly set to False before that code block is ever hit.

If you're intending to reuse the boolean value ready, then you'd either want to preserve its state somewhere outside of the scope of the method - once you leave the method, it goes right back through and sets it to False again.
