How Do You Add A List To Jump To A Line On My Code?

I Have a python code to fix phones and i was wondering what was the best way to jump to a particular question when i type in for example 'Broken Screen' im really stuck and need t

Solution 1:

Here's the best attempt I had at replicating your code. I made a couple of the problems def() so that you can call each one separately. I hope this is what you wanted!

defmenu():
  print("Welcome to Sams Phone Troubleshooting program")
  print("Please Enter your name")
  name=input()
  print("Thanks for using Kierans Phone Troubleshooting program "+name +"\n")

defstart():
  select = " "print("Would you like to start this program? Please enter either y for yes or n for no")
  select=input()
  if select=="y":
    troubleshooter()
  elif select=="n":
    quit
  else:
    print("Invalid please enter again")

deftroubleshooter():
  print("""Please choose the problem you are having with your phone (input 1-4):
1) My phone doesn't turn on
2) My phone is freezing
3) The screen is cracked
4) I dropped my phone in water\n""")
  problemselect = int(input())
  if problemselect ==1:
    not_on()
  elif problemselect ==2:
    freezing()
  elif problemselect ==3:
    cracked()
  elif problemselect ==4:
    water()
  start()

defnot_on():
  print("Have you plugged in the charger?")
  answer = input()
  if answer =="y":
    print("Charge it with a diffrent charger in a diffrent phone socket. Does it work?")
  else:
    print("Plug it in and leave it for 20 mins, has it come on?")
  answer = input()
  if answer=="y":
    print("Are there any more problems?")
  else:
    print("Restart the troubleshooter or take phone to a specialist\n")
  answer=input()
  if answer =="y":
    print("Restart this program")
  else:
    print("Thank you for using my troubleshooting program!\n")

deffreezing():
  print("Charge it with a diffrent charger in a diffrent phone socket")
  answer = input("Are there any more problems?")
  if answer=="y":
    print("Restart the troubleshooter or take phone to a specialist\n")
  else:
    print("Restart this program\n")

defcracked():
  answer =input("Is your device responsive to touch?")
  if answer=="y":
    answer2 = input("Are there any more problems?")
  else:
    print("Take your phone to get the screen replaced")
  if answer2=="y":
    print("Restart the program or take phone to a specialist\n")
  else:
    print("Thank you for using my troubleshooting program!\n")

defwater():
  print("Do not charge it and take it to the nearest specialist\n")

menu()
whileTrue:
  start()
  troubleshooter()

Hope this helps somewhat and if there are minor problems with the code then just message me! (I'm relatively new to this site!)

Solution 2:

The following code should provide a framework on which to build and extend the program in your question. Most of the code should be fine as it currently written, but you can expand its functionality if needed. To continue building on what questions can be asked and what answers are given, consider adding more sections to the database at the top of the file. The cases are can be easily augmented.
