I noted you are about 1/3 of the way through the Python Core tutorial.

Please refer to lesson 15.1 which explains why int(input()) is required to define a string input from an integer input.

Keep this in mind when you wish to create a float(input())

Answer 2

The problem with the code is it doesnt work.

Answer 3

To fix it change
print(“X*Y”) to
print (int(X)*int(Y))
