Code coach inputs and outputs

Question

Where does the input on these problems come from? I was assuming it would be a string named input but I don’t think that is correct. And should the result be a string named output?

Maybe they want a function? Does it matter what it is called?

They all start “write a program that takes a string…”.

Aha! Work=input(“”) is how the input gets in. I’m printing the output and that seems to work

Answer 1

Len ,

please link your code here, so that we can check what causes an issue.

Answer 2

Thanks. I got it to work but i have questions about the input. In line 2 Is int() required to input an integer? Is the “” required in lines 1 and 3?
I just figured out how to create a playground and run a test so that i could link it here. So i can answer these questions myself now.

So the “” in lines 1 and 3 is not needed but the int() in line 2 is. Evidently input() returns a string.
