Please help

So I am on a phone while coding(don't ask why) but I was coding and this is what I wrote on the problem lines:


if(guess1 == blue):
print("Wow! You must be a mind reader!")

I can run the program, but when it gets to the conditional line, it says that 'blue' is not defined. I don't know what to do. Please help!

so colors aren't coded in. you have to put in the hex value. #0000FF.
I've never really messed wit colors so I'm not sure how accurate that is.

Hey, Codergirl2010! Are you trying to check if the user typed the word 'blue' or if the user typed the actual HEX color code?

1. Checking if the user typed 'blue':

if (guess == "blue"):
    print("Wow! You must be a mind reader!")

2. Checking if the user typed the actual HEX color code (see @phillip1882's answer):

if (guess == "#0000FF"):
    print("Wow! You must be a mind reader!")

Explanation: the 'NameNotFound exception' is raised when we try to use a variable or a function name that is not valid. In your case, Python was searching for a variable named 'blue'. As it didn't find it, it raised that exception.

HTH,
MrSevyu

Okay, I tried it and it said that there was an unexpected EOF.

So this is the whole thing

okay let's try this:

if guess1 == "blue":

THANK YOU! I guess sometimes everyone needs an extra pair of eyes to understand a problem
