SoloLearn needs to change!!

SoloLearn is amazing but it could be way better if SoloLearn would let the input for code be in the output rather than be in a box you have no idea what it means and what it wants.

I asked a similar question some time ago. Here is the link. Maybe is technically too difficult for this type of app. https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/863989/sololearn-code-playground-user-input-mechanism-needs-improvement

I used this website a few times with online compilers for a large variety of languages. https://www.jdoodle.com/ It works great. I wonder if SoloLearn cam implement something similar? This is a webpage however and a mobile application may be different and more complicated.

The only possibility in SL to get user input while a program is running is in web codes for a simple reason: Web codes run on your device but any other language on a SL server. Real time input would make many things complicated. They would need to remove the time limit so you could possibly exhaust the RAM or CPU of the server with a single program running for ever waiting for input. So the simplest way to accept input is using this "annoying" boxes.

I guess but it is more convenient to have it in the output for example in python you put the input after the program is run making it easier than having to spend time looking for a single line
