Question

Error in code...

Answer 1

I keep on getting an error for this code:

def order(s):
"""precondition: s is a single alpha character, lower or upper case
postcondition: returns s's position in the alphabet. See
the test code below """

alpha = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
s = s.lower()
int(s) = s.find(alpha)
return x + 1
what is wrong? thx, i'm new at python

Answer 2

return x + 1

Where is x declared/initialized?

For debugging, I usually put print statements in to see what the variables have at each step.
