[Tutor] Problem with "input" in Python 3

I seem to be having a formatting problem between Thunderbird on my PC and the mailing list; I am loosing all indentation. The Gmail account settings on Thunderbird are for plain text and I set the e-mail content to fixed width text so I'm not sure what's going wrong. I am trying one last time sendi

Sorry about the previous post; I didn't check the code format before I posted the reply and thus lost all the indentation. Here I go again, hopefully with the correct indentation. # 7.2_quadratic2easy.py # A program that computes the real roots of a quadratic equation. # Bad version using a si

Christian, You are a genius! There was one minor bug; the variable "in" needed to be changed to something like "in_value" and it works perfectly. Many thanks for that. Regards, Peter -- *Peter Anderson* There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncert
