13.3. Fortune Teller

You can tell someone’s fortune by having them pick a number and then using if statements to print the fortune for the number.

num = input ("Type a number from 1 to 5. Then click OK or press enter") if num == "1": print("You will get a treat.") if num == "2": print("You will lose something.") if num == "3": print("You will meet a new friend.") if num == "4": print("You will catch a cold.") if num == "5": print("You will ace a test.")
