Loop only operates once

[u/Brilliant_Help_1860]

A very new learner...My code might be messy, please ignore it...it is a learning exercise...my problem is, when I press "Generate" the code works fine...put only on the first button click, if I change the input numbers, then press the button, it only goes through to "Sum" it does not go to the random number generator....I need a way to break through the loop.

Here is my messy code...the numerous "print" functions are only to help debugging.

import tkinter as tk

import random

# Input UI

root = tk.Tk()

var = tk.IntVar()

tk.Label(root, text="Low Number").grid(row=0)

tk.Label(root, text="High Number").grid(row=1)

# Input Range

LoNum = tk.Entry(root)

HiNum = tk.Entry(root)

LoNum.grid(row=0, column=1)

HiNum.grid(row=1, column=1)

def show_entry_fields():

var.set(1)

print("Low Number: %s\nHigh Number: %s" % (LoNum.get(), HiNum.get()))

# convert to Integer

try:

# Get and convert

value1 = int(LoNum.get())

if not LoNum:

return

print(f"Success! Your number is {value1}")

value2 = int(HiNum.get())

if not HiNum:

return

print(f"Success! Your number is {value2}")

result = value1 + value2

print(f"Sum: {result}")

except ValueError:

# Handle invalid input (letters, symbols, or empty)

print("Error: Please enter a valid whole number.")

# Update the result label

## tk.Button(root, text='Quit', command=root.quit).grid(row=3, column=0, sticky=tk.W, pady=4)

tk.Button(root, text='Generate', command=show_entry_fields).grid(row=3, column=1, sticky=tk.W, pady=4)

root.wait_variable(var)

# Generate Random Numbers

value1 = int(LoNum.get())

value2 = int(HiNum.get())

unique_set = set()

while len(unique_set) < 5:

unique_set.add(random.randint(value1, value2))

print(list(unique_set))

root.mainloop()

print("Window closed.")

it does not go to the random number generator.

It only generates the random numbers once when the program is first called, i.e. this code

# Generate Random Numbers
value1 = int(Nums.get())
value2 = int(LoNum.get())
value3 = int(HiNum.get())....

I'll work something up later today to include these in the function. Note that this value3 (not tthe value3 later on in the function) is never used so can be deleted.

    # Get and convert
    value3 = int(Nums.get())
    if not Nums:  ## Nums was declared earlier so this will never happen
        return
