Need help with my scripiting homework

[Kami]

So I keep trying for my script to ask the user to input a valid number if ones not given or in my case 0-99

It doesn't do this though. the gender.lower() stuff works fine and if I do alien as my input it asks me the question again until I type in either male or female. The only thing I need help with is why my age>=0 and age <=105 isn't working the way its supposed to be

 

Please help! due tomorrow! procrastinated this one big!

 

 

#ask for age + gender input
age = input ('How old are you? ')
gender = input (' male or female? ')
#turn age into integer
age = int (age)

#use while to keep asking for a valid input
while age >= 0 and age <= 105 and gender.lower() == 'male' and gender.lower() == 'female' :
    age = input ('Choose a valid age (0-99) ')
    age = int (age)
    gender = input ('male or female? ')
if age >= 0 and age <= 5 :
    print ('Fish')
elif age > 6 and age <= 15 and gender.lower() == 'male':
     print ('Gecko')
elif age > 6 and age <= 15 and gender.lower() == 'female':
     print ('Bunny')
elif age > 16 and age <= 30 and gender.lower() == 'male':
      print ('Snake')
elif age > 16 and age <= 30 and gender.lower() == 'female':
    print ('Parrot')
elif age > 30 and age <= 105 and gender.lower() == 'male':
     print ('Dog')
elif age > 30 and age <= 105 and gender.lower() == 'female':
        print ('Cat')

    
#thank you message
print()
print ('Thanks for using Pet Finder!')

(It's suppose to ask the user for a valid number)

while age >= 0 and age <= 105 and gender.lower() == 'male' and gender.lower() == 'female' :

 

^Here you specify that your age has to be from 0 to 105 and the gender has to be male and female.

For the while loop to work if you have the wrong age input you'll have to do it like this:

 

while age <= -1 and age >=106 and (gender.lower() == 'male' or gender.lower() == 'female' ):

 

EDIT: this is purely based upon my java knowledge, I've never worked with Python before. So feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Tried this but it didn't ask the user to input a number again if it was over 105

 

I'm in chat if you want to come there to try and help me

 

edit: Also now doesn't prompt user to input again if gender wasn't male or female

while (age <= -1 or age >=106) and (gender.lower() == 'male' or gender.lower() == 'female' ):

 

Sorry my bad, your age obviously can't both be under 0 and over 105, it had to be an 'or' instead of an 'and'.

Dex fixed my age problem but now gender isn't working correctly

[Isolate]

Your code says to only loop whilst male & female...

Great guy

 

while (age <= -1 or age >=106) or(gender.lower() != 'male' and gender.lower() != 'female' ) :
    age = input ('Choose a valid age (0-105) ')
    age = int (age)
    gender = input ('male or female? ')
if age >= 0 and age <= 5 :
    print ('Fish')
elif age > 6 and age <= 15 and gender.lower() == 'male':
    print ('Gecko')
elif age > 6 and age <= 15 and gender.lower() == 'female':
    print ('Bunny')
elif age > 16 and age <= 30 and gender.lower() == 'male':
    print ('Snake')
elif age > 16 and age <= 30 and gender.lower() == 'female':
    print ('Parrot')
elif age > 30 and age <= 105 and gender.lower() == 'male':
    print ('Dog')
elif age > 30 and age <= 105 and gender.lower() == 'female':
    print ('Cat')
