print("Enter any number:") n = input () n=n*5 print(n) In the above program, if I try to multiply the given integer with 5 , to get output as "5n". Instead it prints as "nnnnn". Could anyone help me to solve it ?

Question

if n = 15
I need get output as "75"
instead of "1515151515"

Answer 1

n = input("Write a number")
n = int(n)*5
print(n)

# when you get a value with input(), this value, even if you type a number, is a string, ie: "5" (string) not 5 (number)
# so, to transform the "5" in 5, you use the function int(5)

Answer 2

The type of n after the input is string. So, n*5 repeats the string five times.
You must convert string to int, as Giovanni does in line 2.

Answer 3

yes carberlaf, and that is why the input () function returns a string that must be converted in an integer, otherwise python will do that funny thing of repeating a string for 5 times

Answer 4

Thank you all for your help!

Answer 5

print=input (change)
