[ANSWERED]Quick Question

Why does it ask for the input? Is it because I've written "inputNum" in my code? But it should not be like that :/ It gets annoying after sometime 😅 i even saved it as a different code but it still ask for input. https://code.sololearn.com/c2ssiVNWR8Gh/?ref=app https://code.sololearn.com/cjbr0blU1489/?ref=app

Not exactly. It's because you have "input(" in your codes in line 10. Remove the opening parenthesis, and it won't prompt you. I've experimented with this quite a bit 😂

HonFu sorry I'd missed your question. My guess is, there must not be any alphabet, number or underscore before "input(", unless it's part of an inline comment. Spaces between "input" and "(" is also fine, of course. But something like exec("in" + "put()") wouldn't trigger it, even though it actually does require an input. [This example is thanks to Flandre Scarlet] Sololearn probably does some quick string search to see if the code needs an input. That's for the app. For the browser, if I remember correctly, they don't even look for the opening parenthesis 😂

Nice, Kishalaya, I didn't know that yet. Is it only for strings, though? I tried to use a name xinput and defined a function xinput() and both worked without getting the cram window.

Hehe, yeah, if you put input in your code, sololearn will ask for input, even if it's in a string. If you use a regular # comment you should be okay. Wait - you got input in your names, hm? ^^
