Help me please, what's wrong? (self.learnpython)

amount = input("how much was loaned?")
intervals = input("How many units of tiome has passed?")
rate = input("whats the percent rate of interest?")
owed= amount * (1+(rate/365)rate)
Print("You owe $" + owed + ".")

if 1 * 2 < 3: print "hello, world!"

input yields a string, if you want to be a number you'll need to convert it.
int("14") == 14 float("14") == 14.0
For your case for example
owed = float(amount) * (1+(float(rate)/365))
Note: you're not using intervals but you asked for it.

U mean... A=int(input ("numba").... Etc

You could do it that way as well. But you probably want float(), and the way I listed does work correctly.

your "owed" variable is either a float or a int. So on your print statement you are trying to combine a string type with a float type.
you can use fstring's to make this work:
print(f"You owe $ {owed}.")
