I was solving the Magic 8 Ball question 14. I did it a bit differently than the answer given in the hint. Can anyone just have a look on my code and give me feedback.
Thank you in advance.

import random
name = ""
question = ""
answer = ""
random_number = random.randint(1, 15)
if random_number == 1:
  answer += "Yes - definitely."
elif random_number == 2:
  answer += "It is decidedly so."
elif random_number == 3:
  answer += "Without a doubt."
elif random_number == 4:
  answer += "Reply hazy, try again."
elif random_number == 5:
  answer += "Ask again later."
elif random_number == 6:
  answer += "Better not tell you now."
elif random_number == 7:
  answer += "My sources say no."
elif random_number == 8:
  answer += "Outlook not so good."
elif random_number == 9:
  answer += "Very doubtful."
elif random_number == 10:
  answer += "You may rely on it."
elif random_number == 11:
  answer += "As I see it, yes."
elif random_number == 12:
  answer += "Cannot predict now."
elif random_number == 13:
  answer += "Don't count on it."
elif random_number == 14:
  answer += "My reply is no."
elif random_number == 15:
  answer += "Concentrate and ask again."
else:
  answer += "Error"

if name == "" and question == "":
  print("You have not asked a question.")
elif name == "":
  print("Question: ", question)
  print("Magic 8-Ball's answer: ", answer)
else:
  print(name, "asks: ", question)
  print("Magic 8-Ball's answer: ", answer)

#if question == "":
  #print("You have not asked a question.")
#else:
  #print("Magic 8-Ball's answer: ", answer)

Hi 16bme1040,

Your code looks great! If you want to take it a step further, you should consider assigning name and question as an input() functions like so:

name = input("What is your name: ")
question = input("What is your question: ")

Also, on line 39, technically you only need to check if question is empty, and not both name and question like so:

if question == "":
  print("You have not asked a question.")

Again, great job!
