Problems with input function

Does anyone have problems with input function? The app don't run the code and don't show the out put when I use a string in the input function. Like, when I write n = input (), everything is ok, when I add n = input ("Enter your name") code doesn't run.

Sololearn console is not a real console. Input is only accepted once by the app, so getting multiple inputs needs some workaround. And don't bother with input prompts n = input("Your input instructions") because they are displayed AFTER the input is submitted. Just use n = input() and put instructions on comments at the beginning of your code so people would know what to type in. It is weird, but maybe not exposing the console is a safety concern.

Okay, I'm totally lost here cause I didn't have any problem when running it in SoloLearn (Android) app.

Hmm, i also have Android. Maybe that's because of security settings on popups. I'll try to check

I found out that if you need several input, you write them in the code and when input prompt appears, you can write them in separate lines and it works.

just don't put any text inside the input. they are useless in Sololearn. Place the instructions inside comments instead.

Oksana K. You wrote: when I add n = input ("Enter your name") code doesn't run. Try n = input(“Enter your name: “) You need to leave a space after “Enter your name: and before the closing quotes“. That way it has room to enter input. So instead of “abc”, you will have “abc “. Hope that makes sense 😀

The string in your input bracket will be displayed in line with the output not at time of input
