Getting a bad input error, not sure why.

[pebbleonvenus]

So this is just the bare beginning of a program that's supposed to calculate either the days passed in the month or the year, depending on the user's choice. My problem is in the choice() function, I'm getting a bad input error on the second if statement. Ive tried changing it to an elif, and an else, and I'm getting the same error. Anyone know how to fix this?

#define functions
def choice(c):
    if c == 1:
        #funton for days passed in month
    if c == 2:
        print("lol")
        #fucntion for days passed in year

def leap_year(year):
    if year/4 == 0:
        return 1
    if year/4 != 0:
        return 0
   

#main
print("Please enter a date")
day = input("Day: ")
month = input("Month: ")
year = ("Year: ")

print("Menu:")
print("1) Calculate the number of days in the given month.")
print("2) Calculate the number of days passed in the given year")
choice = input()
choice(choice)

I'm not able to run your code anyway because you defined choice twice .

First, you do this:

>>> def choice(c):
...     if c == 1:
...         print("lolol")
...         #funton for days passed in month
...     elif c == 2:
...         print("lol")
...         #fucntion for days passed in year
...
>>> type(choice)
<class 'function'>

Then you redefine choice as a str:

>>> choice = input()
1
>>> type(choice)
<class 'str'>

So I rewrote the whole thing:

#define functions
def calculate(choice, date):
    if choice == "1":
        print("Choice 1")
        # code for days passed in a month
    elif choice == "2":
        print("Choice 2")
        # code for days passed in a year

def leap_year(year):
    if year/4 == 0:
        return 1
    if year/4 != 0:
        return 0
  

def main(choice):
    my_date = {}
    print("Please enter a date.")
    my_date["day"] = input("Day: ")
    my_date["month"] = input("Month: ")
    my_date["year"] = input("Year: ")
    calculate(choice, my_date)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print("Menu:")
    print("1) Calculate the number of days in the given month.")
    print("2) Calculate the number of days passed in the given year")
    choice = input("Which would you like to do?\n")
    
    main(choice)

i think your problem is the end code line: choice = input()
you have a function named choice, so this assignment overwrites that.
