Anyone else notice that he's never gonna go jogging if the weather is bad?
Unless I've got input() wrong, it only takes integers... ?
From the docs:
input( [prompt])
Equivalent to eval(raw_input(prompt)).
So, it takes more than just integers, but it won't work the way the OP
expects:
>>> print input('Type something: ')
Type something: 'spam ' * 4
spam spam spam spam
>>> print input('Type something: ')
Type something: y
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "<string>", line 0, in ?
NameError: name 'y' is not defined
- because eval('y') looks for a variable named y
>>> print input('Type something: ')
Type something: 'y'
y
It works with the quotes - it is evaluating a string literal
raw_input() would work better.
