1Add "print(answerNumber)" to the end of getAnswer, that will tell you what you've passed in. But really you need to check the code, you are checking getAnswer when I believe you want answerNumber in the if logic.Johan Snowgoose– Johan Snowgoose2018-12-28 22:16:46 +00:00Commented Dec 28, 2018 at 22:16

I didn't realize i was typing getAnswer in the if logic thank you!user10844642– user108446422018-12-28 22:22:18 +00:00Commented Dec 28, 2018 at 22:22

You're passing in the random number as answerNumber and then checking against the value of getAnswer. So, the function is trying to compare a reference to a function with an integer, which will obviously never evaluate to True. Because none of the if statements evaluate to True, it gets to the end of your function without hitting a return statement, and so by default returns None.
Replace all of the getAnswer references in the function body with answerNumber and you should be all set. Something like:
import random
def getAnswer(answerNumber):
if answerNumber == 1:
return 'It is certain'
elif answerNumber == 2:
return 'It is decidedly so'
elif answerNumber == 3:
return 'Yes'
elif answerNumber == 4:
return "Reply hazy try again"
elif answerNumber == 5:
return 'Ask again later'
elif answerNumber == 6:
return "Concentrate and ask again"
elif answerNumber == 7:
return 'My reply is no'
elif answerNumber == 8:
return 'not so good'
elif answerNumber == 9:
return 'doubtful'
r = random.randint(1 , 9)
future = getAnswer(r)
print(future)

print(future)
you were comparing the function getAnswer to the integer value and since no else statement defined there, function call return None.
all i changed was to compare the actual number answerNumber to the number in code.
