2,514 PointsI used the string conversion code from the tutorial lecture. when I run python string_multiply.py. there's no message
Make new file called string _multiply.py /* Need to add some variables
Input_string = input(“ What string do you want to uses “) Input_int = input(“How many times should I repeat it ?”)
Print(input_string * int(input_int))
When I run python string_multiply.py I do not receive the message prompt from the defined variable (“ What string do you want to uses “) or (“How many times should I repeat it ?”) . I seem to be having problems trying to get python run the code after they are declared

- You need to use raw_input() instead of input().
- Variable names should be all lower_case(this does not throw an error it is just a python convention)
- Print() needs to be print() , all lower-case. This will throw an error because python is case sensitive.
input_string = raw_input("What string do you want to use?")
input_int = raw_input("How many times does it repeat?")
print(input_string * int(input_int))
