Python input() - what am I missing?

I'm just starting to learn Python and I'm not getting the expected result with input (). The following is a comment I added to my practice code. Instead of seeing the String I get a box that says "looks like your program needs some input". What am I missing please as this generic message would be useless to the end user? # input box - this is not working as I expected as you don't see the text string "Enter something:" until the print statement. userInput = input("Enter something:") print(userInput)

This is the limitation of Sololearn's code playground. Try running on an exteenal application. BTW it appears AFTER your input
