Why the error ( EOF ) when I write two or more < input > in Python3?

Question

Why the error ( EOF ) when I write two or more < input > in Python3?
For example:

#calculator of area

l = input("Write the length: ")
a = input("Write the width: ")

area = l*a

print(area)

***Error***
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "..\Playground\", line 4, in <module>
a = input("Write the width: ")
EOFError: EOF when reading a line

Answer 1

You're trying to multiply 2 strings together, which makes the Python interpreter have a mental breakdown trying to figure out what to do (not really, it just raises an error). Try setting the length and width to equal to the input as an int:

l = int(input("Enter the length:")
a = int(input("Enter the width:")

area = l*a

print(area)

Also, you may not be actually entering a number when you are prompted to. Try typing in your second number on a new line, which should fix your problem.

Sidenote, EOF stands for End of File which raises whenever an unexpected end of the file occurs due to some sort of input.
