this is the code I have
str1 = raw_input("Type in a String: ")
str2 = raw_input("Type in a String: ")
int1 = raw_input("Type in a integer variable: ")
int2 = raw_input("Type in a integer variable: ")
print str1 + str2 + int1 + int2
import math
int1 = int(raw_input(""))
print str1,
print str2,
print int1, "*", int2
print "="
and it does not give me an error message when I run it, the program runs fine
except its did not multiply the 2 integer variables i entered
it looks like this
Type in a String: hello
Type in a String: hi
Type in a integer variable: 4
Type in a integer variable: 5
hellohi45
This part is exactly what I want it to look like
except I want it to multply the 2 numbers I inputed (4 & 5 in this example)
thanks again for your time and sorry if I seem rude I just dont have alot of
time these days
I know you all dont have alot of time either and thats why I am extremely
appreciative of everyones help

That was a post to the list; you replied privately, but I'm going to
just elaborate my earlier points. Try again, but use reply-all to one
of the messages in the thread.
You've got a new version of stuff, but no indication what the code now
looks like, or what is "not working".
Be explicit when requesting help. I and others pointed out a few things
wrong; there are others. So don't make us guess what state you're in.
Hopefully you're here to learn, and that happens best when you make
clear questions, and get good responses.
Show your code, show the error,and use cut&paste for the error you get.
"It's not working" is not an error message.
You either get an error message: quote the entire traceback
Or it doesn't do what you expect: tell what you expected, and show
what you got instead.
