Gotcha

Gotcha: The Story

It all started on a random Friday afternoon. Bored, I decided to check DevPost to see of any available or open Hackathons to compete in. I came along this Hackathon with the goal to create anything, no matter how easy or stupid. Then Gotcha was made.

What I learned

Nothing.

Here is the entirety of the code, with comments:

# must import requests to make requests...
import requests

# function declaration for getting ip
def get_ip():
    # we will try this:
    try:
        response = requests.get('https://httpbin.org/ip') # classic and often used service, we want to use
        data = response.json() 
        ip_addr = data.get('origin')
        return ip_addr # return the ip if everything worked

    # we tried except it didn't work, raise error
    except requests.RequestException as error:
        print(f"ERROR ALERT WEE WOO WEE WOO: {error}")
        return None 

# variable containing ip by calling above function
ip_address = get_ip()

# if ip exists print, otherwise print that it didn't work
if (ip_address):
    for i in range (0, 1000000):
        print(f"Your IP: {ip_address}")
else:
    print("WOMP WOMP WE'RE STUMPED :(\n")
