No output tkinter

Question

Any ideas on why this doesnt print hey in terminal? Im trying to make a calculator, but first I have to know wether the person know the in game currency (credits) or the real life currency (danish crownes)

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()

root.geometry('400x400')

ent = tk.Entry(root, fg="blue")
ent.pack()

def submit():
    ent.get()
    

sbmt = tk.Button(root, text="Submit", fg="blue", command=submit)
sbmt.pack()


if sbmt == "credits":
    print("hey")


root.mainloop()

You aren't doing anything with the result when you do ent.get(). I think you should store that in a variable. — TheLizzard

here: as Seth said:

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()

root.geometry('400x400')

ent = tk.Entry(root, fg="blue")
ent.pack()

def submit():
    something = ent.get()
    if  something == "credits":
        print("hey")


sbmt = tk.Button(root, text="Submit", fg="blue", command=submit)
sbmt.pack()



root.mainloop()

sbmt is not the same as "credits". One is a Button, the other is a str. In fact, there is no possible way for the button to do or say anything relating to "credits".

Clarification: Are you trying to see if ent says "credits" inside of it? If so, you need to save ent.get() to a variable.
