By just copying the link to the code and adding it to your message, the code will be attached to your post. d: For the actual code itself, to get x and y to have a value specified by the user can be done by doing the following: x = int(input()) y = int(input()) This asks the user to enter a value, then it stores the value in the variable. To enter multiple values when prompted, just add the second value on a separate line, and it should be stored into the second variable. Hope this helped! d:

the one thing i personally don't like is when the window opens to input it does tell you how many integers to input or if it's a series of strings or an array

when you input x click the ↩ dropdown key or next line button on your keypad. ( shift key )

you should be able to: 50↩ 100 "GO ▶" assigning y as 100 I also did: 100↩ 50 "GO ▶" assigning x as 100

To do so, you can simply just assign a variable to a value of the function input() which prompts the user to enter something and converts it to a string. To change what is entered to an int can be done by surrounding the input() function with the int() function, converting the value the user entered to an integer.

I don't get how to ask for input in the code. When I run someone else's program, it clearly asks me to give an input. I don't know what word to use there. It might sound silly. but I'm pretty new to this...

idk why, but i'm getting an error when I give the user to choose his input. when only x input can be varied according to the user, the there is no problem, but the problem arises when i do the same to y
