> a = input("Type in the Grose: ") > b = input("type in the Miles: ") > print "a * 0.74 / b is" a*0.74/b
Try adding a comma between the message and the calculation. print "a * 0.74 / b is", a*0.74/b It tells print that there are two separate things to print. Also when posting problems it is always best to include the actual error you get. In this case its simple enough but anything beyond that and the error report helps a lot. Also, while input() is easy to use it is considered slightly dangerous since a malicious user could type python commands in at the prompt, so its an open door for security problems. But while you are learning don;t worry too much about that, just bear it in mind for the future.
