what am I missing? I thought I copied this well from the solo learn examples.

the error appears because with: float("Enter a number:") you are asking python interpreter to convert "Enter a number" into number which confuses it. what you may have wanted is to write something like: num1 = float(input("Enter a number:")) which would take user input and converti it to number. i don't know what's the rest of your code, so i might be wrong about that line.
