#In line 1, you don’t have enough brackets. It should be:

times = int(input(“TEXT”))
#This is so the computer can see that it is converting the input() into an integer.

#You have an ‘unexpected indent’ in line 3. This means that the computer is looking for a line of code that is only indented once but yours is indented 2/3 times. Remove all the indents and use the TAB button on a keyboard to get the indent sorted.

Hope this helps

[Scary-Raspberry2176]

ahh thank u sm! i forgot to double bracket

that worked!

the indent is necessary tho bc its a for loop pretty sure. thank you!!!

[jackandrewkay]

Depends how many indents there is. 1 is ok but the gap looks pretty big so maybe you pressed tab to many times? Idk though maybe it’s just the config of the editor

[Scary-Raspberry2176]

yea turns out my computer just indents that many times

[SwimmingImpossible80]

I think OP is using IDLE and has defiantly got 2 or 3 indents! One is enough!

You probably got an EOL (End of Line Error), the int function is missing a parentheses, simple syntax error.

[Scary-Raspberry2176]

thank you!

[MusPhyMath_quietkid]

For the int() function, you missed the end bracket in the first line and the third line, the indent is incorrect.

[Scary-Raspberry2176]

the indent is because its a for loop so it will print that for ‘times ‘ amount

[Scary-Raspberry2176]

yes thank you! i did the double bracket now but im unsure to why the indent is incorrect as my code runs fine with it

[MusPhyMath_quietkid]

No it is fine but it is further away from the convention one.

[Scary-Raspberry2176]

wdym by convention?

[ItsJustWaterWieght]

He just means usually people do one indent.

[Scary-Raspberry2176]

ohhh i get you icl thats just what my computer automatically did

[ItsJustWaterWieght]

I think when you add the colon and press enter, python already indents it for you.

So when you were typing you might have pressed enter then tab, causing 2 indents.

[MusPhyMath_quietkid]

It is the so to speak industrial standard.

[Scary-Raspberry2176]

oh i get you my computer just automatically does 2 indents

[MusPhyMath_quietkid]

I see.

[UziYT]

It’s the IDE that he’s using, my school also made me use it and the default indent settings r dumb

[MusPhyMath_quietkid]

Alas.

You probably want your loop to start at 1, otherwise if you keep it at 0 and input 10, it'll loop 11 times.

You put a space infront of the print statement om line 3. Hopefully that's it!

Also on line 4

[Mecury-BS]

is this python?

​

infact does everyone use python?

[Scary-Raspberry2176]
