I am currently writing a code that accepts user inputs. However, I intend to put in an option such that if the user made an error, they may restart the process again by typing in a specific input. And I'm hoping that the code clears all previous input from the namespace:

For example

name = input("what is your name: ")
age = input("how old are you:? ")
## if the user realizes that they put in the wrong name and wish to restart the process, they may input "restart"
if age == 'restart':
    ### I don't know what code to put here.
else:
    #I'd continue the rest of my codes

I'd greatly appreciate any tips.

Supposedly you want the console to clear if the user decides to change its input in name

import os     

while True:
    os.system('clear')   #we imported "os" for this built-in function
    name = input("Enter your name: ")
    age = input("how old are you:? ")

    if age == 'restart': #if user inputs 'restart' we head back to the start of the loop
        input("Press Enter Key to Continue...")
        continue

# Rest of the code goes here

You can simple wrap the code in a while loop

name = input("what is your name: ")
age = 'restart' # This is simply taking input because of the next line of code

while age == 'restart':
  age = input("how old are you:? ")

# Rest of the code goes here

  • How are you planning to do this `I'm hoping that the code clears all previous input from the namespace:` – Himanshu Poddar Jul 17 '22 at 06:11
  • Well it overwrites the `age` variable hence clearing the previous input. However, its unclear what the person means by `namespace`. Do they mean remove the previous line in the cmd or start the process again – Alpha Wolf Gamer Jul 17 '22 at 06:18
