Menu 1,2,3,4 Options

Question

I asked this earlier but it was not answered (my fault, I didn't put a question). I need to make a menu with 4 options but I do not know how to link the user_input to the actual 1,2,3,4 programs. Please help....

Your code doesn't appear to prompt for input anywhere. Is that the issue?

user_input = int( input("your prompt goes here") )
# PYTHON3

user_input = int( raw_input("your prompt goes here") )
# PYTHON2

As an aside: if you don't have to use your user's input as a number (e.g. you don't need to do any math with it) then don't cast it to int and test for if user_input == "1" rather than if user_input == 1

+1 for being 10 second faster than me with the bloody correct answer :) – ElmoVanKielmo Apr 23 '14 at 15:25
1 works but when I do 2 it says that it has an 'unsupported operand type' – Calvin_Medcalf Apr 23 '14 at 15:34
3 doesn't work and just says new salary is not defined even though I have defined it the line above (new_salary = int(input(...) – Calvin_Medcalf Apr 23 '14 at 15:34
@Calvin_Medcalf I don't know why `2` doesn't work, your `sum` looks correct. Maybe I'm missing something. `3` doesn't work because your indentation is wrong. – Adam Smith Apr 23 '14 at 15:43
@Calvin_Medcalf as an aside, why aren't you using `elif`s? `if user_input == 1: # do stuff; elif user_input == 2: # do other stuff` instead of `else: if user_input==2` which ends up making a big ugly tree inside your code. – Adam Smith Apr 23 '14 at 15:45
@Calvin_Medcalf the four lines from `if new_salary <= 200000:` are incorrectly indented - they should be *inside* `change_salary`, i.e. one tab deeper – jonrsharpe Apr 24 '14 at 10:01
