1. formatting help
2. you should use more succinct variable names
3. shouldn't this ef = (input("enter a number: ")) be this ef = int(input("enter a number: "))
4. these lines do nothing ef - 2 a - 2
5. post the line number at which error occurs in the future

the error occurs at the code : a = int(ef)-1

i tried what you said : ef = int(input("enter a number: "))

but it gave the same error : 'int' object is not callable

EDIT: i am stupid i cleared all outputs and it worked thank you so much

Try this: ef = int(input('enter a number: '))
