1,865 PointsTried to run code in console, nothing popped up?
I practiced typing the code like in the video, checked and mine was basically the same as the video. But when I typed into the console, the program didn't run, it just reprinted the treehouse input again. Like this:
treehouse:~/workspace$ python vending_machine.py
treehouse:~/workspace$ python
It might be just a technical thing, but thought I'd ask just to make sure.
The code I typed in is below, and the indentations are aligned correctly: sodas = ["Pepsi", "Cherry Coke", "Root Beer"] chips = ["Doritos", "Fritos", "Seaweed chips"] candy = ["Snickers", "Twizzlers", "Gobstoppers"]
while True: choice = input("Would you like a SODA, some CHIPS, or some CANDY? ").lower() if choice = 'soda': snack == sodas.pop() elif choice == 'chips': snack == chips.pop() elif choice == 'candy': snack == candy.pop() else: print("Sorry, I did not understand that.") continue print("Here's your{}: {}".format(choice, snack))

Treehouse Project ReviewerWell, your code should have nothing to with what happened in the workspace terminal.
It's likely that that the last command, before you tried to run the script, was python
And i'm guessing you may have pressed the 'up' arrow key instead of 'enter'.
Doing this will bring up the last command run in the terminal.
On a side note, after parsing through your pasted code, I noticed that you have a syntax error:
if choice = 'soda':
# should be
if choice == 'soda':
