What is up with my code showing Time Limit Exceeded?

Question

My code Mathematica
https://code.sololearn.com/c6rC9o4YX26E/?ref=app

Can anyone please tell me how to fix the code to print 2 with the input 1+1

Answer 1

Hi Jacob Heath , and welcome to Sololearn!

It should look like this:

SUM = input()
if SUM == ("1+1"):
print ("2")

Putting "SUM" inside input makes it a prompt text for the user, just like "Please enter something". But SUM=input() stores the input in a variable SUM, which is what you want. You also missed a colon at the end of line 4.

And the Code Playground was down for quite a while, which is why you're getting the Time Limit Exceeded. Otherwise it would have shown you more specific errors.

Hope that helps. Happy learning! 😊

thanks! Now it works.
