Is the exercise named "Working with input"? Possibly you need to use the input() statement to read one or more of the values. Take note: "hi" is already a string. The quotation marks define it as a string. It is redundant to convert it to string with the str("hi") function. Likewise, 3 is already an int, since it does not have quotation marks, so y = 3 is enough.Though, if y is taken as input then the input will need to be converted to int. That is because input() returns a string. It would look like this: y = int(input())

Marco Grotto hard coding is you are giving value to variable.. instead of getting it as user input

Hello, you should just write x="hi" Or if you wanna something different write x=input() so then you can work with a string ✨ Also you should write y=3 Or if you wanna something different write y=int(input()) so then you can work with a integer number ✨

x=input () y=int(input()) print(x*y) This is working fine in pc . May be in solo learn it's not allowed to input more than one input. in this code you have to first input string which you want multiple times and then input how many times do you want to print that string.

Marco Grotto from your question you post, First input should be a string Second should be integer So, A=input() B=int(input()) Print (A*B) It will work...

Marco Grotto hard coding means you already take variable value just like x="hi" and y=2 or any number. But in soft coding user gives value through input function
