IndentationError: expected an indented block

Question

Problem:

I am newbee in python programming and I have been instructed by my course teacher to do some programming practice. So, I wrote a code:

def random():
a = random.randint (0, x+1)

b = random.randint (0, y+1) 

c = random.randint (0, z+1) 

outer_function(a,b,c)

if outer_function(a,b,c) is True:
Break

if outer_function(a,b,c) is False:
random()

but when I run this code it gives me following error:

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object
IndentationError: expected an indented block

Answer 1

In your program tou are using randint function without importing it.

So you should import it by:

Import random

or

from random import randint

So your code should be like:

import random

def random():

  a = random.randint (0, x+1)

  b = random.randint (0, y+1) 

  c = random.randint (0, z+1) 

outer_function(a,b,c)

if outer_function(a,b,c) is True:
    break

  if outer_function(a,b,c) is False: 
    random()

 

or

from random import randint

def random():

  a = random.randint (0, x+1)

  b = random.randint (0, y+1) 

  c = random.randint (0, z+1) 

outer_function(a,b,c)

if outer_function(a,b,c) is True:
    break

  if outer_function(a,b,c) is False: 
    random()

Hope you understand this.

Happy coding.
