I am new to python and I most likely complicate this. I am having a problem with values in variables inside a function that is not being replaced. Instead, it simply adds a new meaning to it. Using this function, if you select 1 or 2, it is supposed to perform certain actions, if you choose something else, it is assumed that this is not an option, and you will try again. Here is the conclusion if I choose the wrong option before choosing a valid option:
Select Option
[1] Option 1
[2] Option 2
You selected Option 1
1
9
7
6
So instead of replacing the value of my variable with 1 and clearing the previous values, it seems to just be added to it. Here is my code:
def testfunc():
testvar = input('Select Option\n\n[1] Option 1\n[2] Option 2\n\n >')
if testvar in ('1', 'Option 1', 'option 1'):
print("\nYou selected Option 1")
elif testvar in ('2', 'Option 2', 'option 2'):
print("\nYou Selected Option 2")
else:
print("\n\nThat is not an option, please select another option")
testfunc()
print(testvar)
testfunc()
