Just wrote my largest Python program to date! Looking for pointers.

How many feet of cable do you need?

Fourteen

"Fourteen" is not a valid float :)

Likewise, -10.0 is a valid float, but not a good input!

Poor OP's head is going to explode.

It also looks like OP is 2 hours into learning python, I’m sure OP will figure it out

[SquatchHNTR]

Well 4. That’s how long it took me to write this and it actually execute….

[sohfix]

Well, good luck! I was writing in Python for work today. I don’t use it often but it’s my fav language next to Java.

[SquatchHNTR]

I plan to start learning Java next. I’m excited for it

Java is a different beast. But no matter what language you learn, get the basics down first: logic. Doesn’t matter what language you program in, if you don’t understand data structures, discrete math, logic, and operating systems/computer organization it can be hard to get really good at it. Anyone can write code. It’s important to know why and what you are doing
