when I try to multiply with a decimal number in python with the
input
this is what i get
Enter first number: 1.2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Timesed.py", line 18, in <module>
numberx1 = (int)(raw_input('Enter first number: '))
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '1.2'
You are inputting a floating point number - 1.2 and
trying to convert it to an integer. You need to convert
raw_input to a float() rather than an int()
