Why has my code got an error? Please help

Firstly, I can see a different, unrelated error here on line 56 unless you've got a variable somewhere called "min", but it doesn't seem that way from the colour of the text:

if totalpoints < 0:
totalpoints = min

min is a built-in function which takes the lowest of two numbers, so I'm guessing you were trying to do totalpoints = min(totalpoints, 0) -- although stop and look at that logic for a second too.

-- if totalpoints is less than 0 then it will be a negative number. So if you choose the minimum between a negative number and zero, then totalpoints would be the negative number). It seems to me that it'd make more sense to use max instead if you want to stop it turning into a negative number (and you won't need the if check either. i.e.

totalpoints = max(totalpoints, 0)




Where else are you changing the variable called 'user2points' aside from line 61? line 61 itself is fine, but it looks like you have an error somewhere else which looks the same as the error on 56. e.g. you have done something like this elsewhere in your program:

user2points = max


If you find that line and change it to use max (maybe user2points = max(0, user2points ) ?? then that'll set the variable user2points to an integer. The error you're seeing about 'builtin_function_or_method' is because the variable has been set to some built-in function like min or max. rather than a number.

(Remember that the names min and max on their own without curvy brackets will just store those functions in the variable, it won't call them -- that's why you need min() or max() instead)

How do you type the pinkish code window?
