I'm new to python and am trying to fix this and By defualt its running the else statment I don't understand and need help. I'm new so please dumb your answers down to my -5 iq

I changed the if "" to on_menu and list the options but it didn't work, and I asked people on discord.
menu = ["Baguette" , "Crossiant" , "Coffee" , "Tea" , "Cappuccino "]

for item in menu:
print(str(count) +" -> "+str(item))
count += 1
order = int(input("\n What Would you like? \n "))
if order > len(menu) or order < 0 or order == "" or not menu[order]:
print("Sorry Thats not on the menu")
quit()
orderCount = int(input("How many " + menu[order] + " would you like?"))

Currently you are not checking the user input, you are just checking for a False statement based on what you defined. You need to check if the user input is on the menu, else quit the program.

Hope this helps! I have added the explanation as comments.
my code is pretty messy as I am new but I cant figure this out!
I have only included the relevant pieces of my code btw.
Pretty much What i want it to do is say the same location twice for random_place1 and then a new location for random_place2. Currently it just gives me three separate locations, because i am just calling for random_place1 to rerandomize.
def random_place1():
import random
locations = ["Paris" , "New York", "San Francisco" , "Tokyo", "Istanbul", "São Paulo", "Xi'an", "Bogotá", "Casablanca", "Rabat"]

return (first_place)

import random
locations = ["London" , "Miami" , "Chicago", "Cairo", "Vienna" , "Manila", "Munich", "Delhi"]
second_place = random.choice(locations)
return(second_place)

You can call the random place methods and store the value it returns in a variable to use that value later. One coding principle you might want to look at is called "DRY" (Dont repeat yourself). If you see your self writing a lot of the same code then chances are you can take a better approach.
So below is just a quick update of your code to make it cleaner. You could really not bother with the func random_place as instead of calling it from main we could just call random.choice. However i have included it to show you that you dont need to write random_place twice. you could write it once and give it a locations to chose from.
Also you can take the input and make it lower case. then you only need to test for things like "yes" or "y" you dont need to test for all the case sensitive version. Thus you only write the print line once.
import random
locations1 = ["Paris", "New York", "San Francisco", "Tokyo", "Istanbul", "São Paulo", "Xi'an", "Bogotá", "Casablanca",
"Rabat"]
locations2 = ["London", "Miami", "Chicago", "Cairo", "Vienna", "Manila", "Munich", "Delhi"]
def random_place(locations):
return random.choice(locations)
def main():
while True:
answer = input("Type Yes to continue or No to exit: ").lower()
if answer == "yes" or answer == "y":
location1 = random_place(locations1)
location2 = random_place(locations2)
print(f"Last year i went to {location1}. This year i was going to go again to {location1}.",
f"However my friends suggested to go to {location2} as the people in {location2} are nicer")
elif answer == "no" or answer == "n":
print("\nThanks for trying out the Madlibs Generator!")
break
else:
print("\nThats not a valid input")
main()
OUTPUT
Type Yes to continue or No to exit: yes
Last year i went to São Paulo. This year i was going to go again to São Paulo. However my friends suggested to go to Manila as the people in Manila are nicer
Type Yes to continue or No to exit: nodf
Thats not a valid input
Type Yes to continue or No to exit: no

So I am currently creating a small stock broker game using python for an assignment I have, and I have hit a problem. My next lesson isn't until Tuesday next week, and I can't seem to find any good solutions to my issue. Basically, this code is intended to initially decrease the time by 1 every time the player decides to wait a day, however the time remains at 20 no matter how many times the player waits. I am also unsure of how to make it so that my code loops the user input section: "Did you want to buy stocks, sell stocks or wait a day?" Until the user says he would like to wait. Is there a fix for this issue, and if so, what is it?Here is the code I am talking about:
stocks = 0
time = 21
money = 100
print("You have $" + str(money) + " in your bank.")
while time > 0:
stock = random.randint(1,20)
time = time - 1
while True:
print("You have " + str(time) + " days remaining until the market closes")
print("Stocks are currently worth: $" + str(stock))
choice = input("Did you want to buy stocks, sell stocks or wait a day? ")
if choice.casefold() == "buy":
while True:
numberBuy = int(input("Enter the number of stocks that you would like to buy: "))
if numberBuy * stock > money:
print("You don't have the money for that")
else:
break
money = money - (numberBuy * stock)
stocks = stocks + numberBuy
print("You bought " + str(numberBuy) + " stocks and you spent $" + str(numberBuy * stock) + " buying them. You now have $" + str(money) + " and you have " + str(stocks) + " stocks")
elif choice.casefold() == "sell":
while True:
numberSell = int(input("Enter the number of stocks that you would like to sell: "))
if numberSell > stocks:
print("You don't have enough stocks for that. You have " + str(stocks) + " stocks and you want to sell " + str(numberSell))
else:
break
stocks = stocks - numberSell
money = money + (numberSell * stock)
print("You sold " + str(numberSell) + " stocks and you made $" + str(numberSell * stock) + " selling them. You now have $" + str(money) + " and you have " + str(stocks) + " stocks")
elif choice.casefold() == "wait" or "wait a day" or "wait day":
print("You wait for the next day to come. At the end of the day, you have $" + str(money) + " in your bank account and you have " + str(stocks) + " stocks to")
print("your name")
print(" ")
print("===========================================================================================================")
print(" ")```
The reason time never changes is because all of the code based on user input choices is in a second while loop, which currently has no form of exit. A quick fix is to move the line time = time - 1 to the appropriate option in the if statement. Also I think you should remove the second while loop entirely, because the stock price will never change.
while time > 0:
stock = random.randint(1,20)
print("You have " + str(time) + " days remaining until the market closes")
print("Stocks are currently worth: $" + str(stock))
choice = input("Did you want to buy stocks, sell stocks or wait a day? ")
if choice.casefold() == "buy":
while True:
numberBuy = int(input("Enter the number of stocks that you would like to buy: "))
if numberBuy * stock > money:
print("You don't have the money for that")
else:
break
money = money - (numberBuy * stock)
stocks = stocks + numberBuy
print("You bought " + str(numberBuy) + " stocks and you spent $" + str(numberBuy * stock) + " buying them. You now have $" + str(money) + " and you have " + str(stocks) + " stocks")
elif choice.casefold() == "sell":
while True:
numberSell = int(input("Enter the number of stocks that you would like to sell: "))
if numberSell > stocks:
print("You don't have enough stocks for that. You have " + str(stocks) + " stocks and you want to sell " + str(numberSell))
else:
break
stocks = stocks - numberSell
money = money + (numberSell * stock)
print("You sold " + str(numberSell) + " stocks and you made $" + str(numberSell * stock) + " selling them. You now have $" + str(money) + " and you have " + str(stocks) + " stocks")
elif choice.casefold() == "wait" or "wait a day" or "wait day":
time = time - 1
print("You wait for the next day to come. At the end of the day, you have $" + str(money) + " in your bank account and you have " + str(stocks) + " stocks to")
print("your name")

This is a simple program that:
Asks a user how many tickets they want
Calculates the cost of the tickets
Then asks if it's okay to go ahead with the purchase
How could I change the way I'm doing things to not have to overwrite the requestedTickets and costOfTickets global variables?
(they're being overwritten in the confirm function, if a user replies with an "n" declining the confirmation of purchase.)
I'm trying to learn best practices.

My assignment is to keep a record of the transactions of an ATM program in a text file. After every deposit or withdraw you must update the file with the transaction type, amount deposited/withdrawn, and updated balance. I am able to get the text file to print out the current balance but only for one deposit/withdraw. Additionally, when the program runs it is supposed to open the file with the transactions and find the current balance for the account, but each time I run the program the new text just replaces the old.
Here is my code:
balancefile=open("balancefile.txt", "w")
balancefile.write("Starting balance is $10000 \n")
USER_BALANCE=10000
name=input("What is your name? ")
print(name +"," + " " + "Your current balance is: $" + str(USER_BALANCE))
while True:
answer=input("Would you like to deposit, withdraw, check balance, or exit? ")
if answer=="deposit" or answer== "Deposit":
x= input("How much would you like to deposit? ")
USER_BALANCE += float(x)
print (name + "," + " " + "Your new balance is: $" + str(USER_BALANCE))
balancefile.write("You have deposited an amount of $" + x + "." + " " + "Current balance is $" + str(USER_BALANCE) +"\n")
continue
elif answer== "withdraw" or answer== "Withdraw":
y= input("How much would you like to withdraw? ")
if float (y)<=USER_BALANCE:
USER_BALANCE -= float(y)
print (name + "," + " " + "Your new balance is: $" + str(USER_BALANCE))
balancefile.write("You withdrew an amount of $" + y + "." + " " + "Current balance is $" + str(USER_BALANCE) + "\n")
continue
else:
print ("Cannot be done. You have insufficient funds.")
elif answer== "check balance" or answer== "Check Balance":
print ("$" + str(USER_BALANCE))
elif answer== "exit" or answer== "Exit":
print ("Goodbye!")
balancefile.close()
break
else:
print ("I'm sorry, that is not an option")
Please help! To clarify, the original amount in the account is $10,000 but you are supposed to be able to re-enter the program after exiting using the last updated balance in the text file.
As the commenters have noted, the file mode 'w' will truncate the file proir to write, and 'a' will open a file for appending. This is described in further detail in the Python documentation.
