The Mathalator 3000! (Python)

[Creepy Doll]

Here's a little math program I put together in Python.
I just started learning about programming in general a few days ago so I'm quite proud of this little program.

Code:

from random import randint

scoreCount = 0
qCount = 0
nOfQs = 0
frust = 0

print "Welcome to the mathalator 3000!\n"
print "How many questions would you like?\n(only up to 50)\n"
while nOfQs == 0 or nOfQs < 0 or nOfQs > 50:
    nOfQs = int(raw_input(""))
    print ""
    if nOfQs > (50 or nOfQs < 0) and frust >= 6:
        print "Alright, that's it! Get out!"
        exit()
    elif nOfQs > (50 or nOfQs < 0) and frust >= 3:
        frust += 1
        print "You're really starting to get on my nerves. Just pick a valid number."
    elif nOfQs > 50 or nOfQs < 0:
        frust += 1
        print "I'm afraid I can't let you do that. Please pick another number.\n"
    else:
        print "Alrighty, let's get this started.\n"


while qCount < nOfQs:
    rand = randint(1,3)
    if rand == 1:
        qCount += 1
        x = randint(1,100)
        y = randint(1,100)
        print "What is %d %s %d\n" % (x,"+",y)
        answer = int(raw_input(""))
        if answer == x+y:
            scoreCount += 1
            print "That is correct!\n"
        elif answer != x+y:
            print "That is not correct.\n"
    elif rand == 2:
        qCount += 1
        x = randint(10,200)
        y = randint(1,x)
        print "What is %d %s %d\n" % (x,"-",y)
        answer = int(raw_input(""))
        if answer == x-y:
            scoreCount += 1
            print "That is correct!\n"
        elif answer != x-y:
            print "That is not correct.\n"
    elif rand == 3:
        qCount += 1
        x = randint(1,20)
        y = randint(1,20)
        print "What is %d %s %d\n" % (x,"*",y)
        answer = int(raw_input(""))
        if answer == x*y:
            scoreCount += 1
            print "That is correct!\n"
        elif answer != x*y:
            print "That is not correct.\n"

raw_input("That's all the questions I have for you. To continue press Enter...")
print "You got %d out of %d questions right." % (scoreCount,qCount)

My Python's a little rusty, but shouldn't this:

Code:

if nOfQs > (50 or nOfQs < 0) and frust >= 6:

be this:

Code:

if (nOfQs > 50 or nOfQs < 0) and frust >= 6:

?

I don't know.... maybe. It works the way it is, but you're probably onto something here. In any case your suggestion seems just slightly more readable.

[Jaehl]

Yeah, looking at it, it would work fine. Technically, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just a bit... odd, and probably not what you were intending to code.

[Creepy Doll]

Woah, I just saw what was so stupid about that line! I didn't really notice it before, even when you brought it up.
Still, it works as it should (or at least appears to).
