Customize text in Input window of code playground [solved]

Question

Hi all,

I tried the following code:

The input windows is supposed to show the two random numbers to add. Instead I get the standard line "Seems like your program requires input".

How can I achieve this ?

Thanks
Matthias

Answer 1

Matthias, you need to convert the input (comes always as string!) to int like this:

s = int(input("Sum "+str(a)+" and "+str(b)))

But the program doesn't make sense in playground, as you have to enter all "inputs" in advance. But on a regular IDE it works properly. May be you could put it in a loop, so that a user can run 10 exercises or like this.

Answer 2

Thanks. Now it works again.

Can you also help with my actual problem (input window saying 'Seems like your program requires input', but I want it to say instead 'Sum number a and number b') ?

Answer 3

Thanks for your quick help, Kiibo and Lothar!

Answer 4

If I use that, I get an error ("NameError: name 'random' is not defined")
