Are you talking about the float() function? The float() function tries to convert its input to float. For example: # finding acceleration a = f / m f = float(input('What is the force: ')) # input returns a string, float() converts it to a floating point number m = float(input('What is the mass: ')) # the same happens here. I need float numbers because 'f' and 'm' can have decimal places. a = f / m # the result will also be a float number.

If you run the code in the Sololearn playground it will not be asked to you. But if you run it in the interpreter of your computer it will. here is a code that explains how input is handled in sololearn playground: https://code.sololearn.com/WhiNb9BkJUVC/?ref=app
