I dun understand the mistake. My aim is to accept an integer number. The
python lookup in IDLE asks for a string object but the interpreter returns
with the following error message. Some one pls explain.
Thank You
PS : I understand that i can do type conversion after getting input thru
raw_input(). But how does input() function work?
>>> prompt="temme a number\n"
>>> speed =input(prompt)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#56>", line 1, in <module>
speed =input(prompt)
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
>>> speed =input("temme a number\n")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#57>", line 1, in <module>
speed =input("temme a number\n")
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable
