Question

(PYTHON) I assigned a number to each month so that i could “add” to them, create a new variable and then print the new month in letter form. However I get an error when i run the program. Is there a specific way i need to assign them numbers ?

for example i did

month = input (Enter the month”)

assigned january =1 february =2 etc

and then did

precedingMonth = month + 1

then tried to do

print( “the next month is”, precedingMonth)

Answer 1

Answer: Dear student, Kindly find the code, i think after seeing this code your issues will be solved. You didn't mention full question means what you want in program i think that you want a program that prompts for month and add a number in this to find preceding month and print out the preceding month. This porgram is doing the same. you have to assign numbers for each variable in new line. If you have any queries , feel free to ask me. Thanks.

month = int(input("Enter the month:"))
january = 1
february = 2
march = 3
april = 4
may = 5
june = 6
july = 7
august = 8
september = 9
october = 10
november = 11
december = 12

precedingMonth = month+1
if precedingMonth == 2:
print("The preceding month is-February")
elif precedingMonth == 3:
print("The preceding month is-March")
elif precedingMonth == 4:
print("The preceding month is-April")
elif precedingMonth == 5:
print("The preceding month is-May")
elif precedingMonth == 6:
print("The preceding month is-June")
elif precedingMonth == 7:
print("The preceding month is-July")
elif precedingMonth == 8:
print("The preceding month is-August")
elif precedingMonth == 9:
print("The preceding month is-September")
elif precedingMonth == 10:
print("The preceding month is-October")
elif precedingMonth == 11:
print("The preceding month is-November")
elif precedingMonth == 12:
print("The preceding month is-December")
