Python Easy Python Help

Hi, I just began python and made a dice simulator. I am having the following issues: 1)the random integer is always the same (it is a value from 1 to 6, but within the loop it is always the same). Can I fix this or perhaps this is because I'm using an online interpreter?2) After the loop goes through once, the second input of "Would you like to roll again" (even if yes) will print "ByeBye!" No matter what the response is. I think I need to chance my if input("Would you like to roll again?") != "yes" or "Yes": statement? Any advice would help. Thanks!

received = input("Type roll to go!")
import random
value = random.randint(1,6)
while received == "Roll" or "roll":
    print(value)
    again = input("Would you like to roll again?")
    if again == "yes" or "Yes":
        print("Ok!")
    if input("Would you like to roll again?") != "yes" or "Yes":
        print("ByeBye!")
        break
else:
    print("mistake!")

I don't have Python installed here, but maybe this would work:

import random

received = input("Type roll to go!")
while received == "Roll" or received == "roll":
    value = random.randint(1,6)
    print(value)
    again = input("Would you like to roll again?")
    if again == "yes" or again == "Yes":
        print("Ok!")
        received = "roll"
    else:
        print("ByeBye!")
        received = "stop"

Hi @willp4rry,

The reason you always get the same random number is because the code only generates it once since it is not in a repeating loop. To fix this put it at the start of the while loop. Also the reason why it always outputs "ByeBye" is because it is told to do that every time the user inputs yes, whereas it should do that when the user doesn't input yes.

You can also put '.lower()' on the end of the inputs so you only have to check for the lower case inputs. E.g.

again = input("Would you like to roll again?").lower()
    if again == "yes":

This isn't essential but makes the code more efficient.

you're breaking on NOT yes, which is roll, can also use .strip() in input

Could you elaborate more on this? e.g. explain why this might be a problem?

I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand what you mean. Could you, like @Malcolm said, explain in more detail what you mean when you say this.
