I need help please. My code(or the IDE) has issues with “collecting“ input. How can I fix this please?

Question

total = 0

i=0
while i<5:
age=int(input(“enter your age”))
if age<3:
continue
total+=100
i+=1
print(total)

Answer 1

You are using wrong quotes ““ for string. Use double " " Or single quotes ' ' for string literals...
And if it is about code coach task then don't put any argument to input() function..
hope it helps.....

Answer 2

Jayakrishna🇮🇳 Ah, I didn't even know there were different quotations but it makes sense because in the link I gave, it talked about not using US keyboards can lead to syntax errors.

Answer 3

Because when continue excuted, i+=1 is skipped. So add it, at the start of loop, not after continue.

link has about some advanced errors (invisible invalid character). but the code has basic mistake.

Answer 4

total = 0
i=0

while i<5:
i+=1 # change need on this
age=int(input()) #
if age<3:
continue
total+=100

print(total)

# corrected code, find your mistake yourself now.
# hope it helps.

Answer 6

Jayakrishna🇮🇳 thanks but i also tried not using the argument but it still didn’t work . They keep telling me something about EOF error.

Answer 7

The error is from the line age=int(input())
I also tried
age=input()
I even tried a different code but there still was an issue with the input.
Googled the error type and they said its typical of online IDEs😭
