I have been trying to follow everything precisely. I've used both Edge and Chrome to see if I can get it to work. It won't work. After already copying the numbers I plan to use the "round" command on, right clicking doesn't make the "paste" option appear. I don't get it! I can't proceed!

1,167 PointsWell, I may consider trying that if more problems persist, but fortunately, I found a solution based on an answer to a similar question. The thing is, I was using Edge which I like Edge because of it's features, but I guess maybe the web browser is just too new now and didn't allow me to solve the problem through right clicking on the title bar. Even that didn't work. But when I right clicked on the title bar using Chrome, the Paste option appeared. It would have been nice if the instructor would have at least shown this alternative in case the web browser or version of Python or version of OS doesn't support having a Paste option when right clicking on the Console.

1,167 PointsThank you Nancy! Yes I already tried Control + C and Control + V. I doubt anyone trying to learn this would not know about that shortcut. Nevertheless, that didn't work. It was the first thing I tried. After that, I tried copying the line of numbers which it allowed me to do. However, when I try to use the "round" command and paste what I had copied, well, the "paste" option just won't appear. I've been right clicking to make it appear, and it just won't. It works elsewhere, but not on the workspace. It's so frustrating. The paste option just won't appear and Control + V just makes this weird ^V symbol appear which after pressing enter just causes a SyntaxError.

Courses Plus Student 35,157 PointsSometimes having an intermediate place to paste helps. If you can't paste into another part of the workspace, try pasting into notepad or another text editor. Then copy and paste to the workspace from THAT source. In other words, copy the workspace, paste to notepad, and copy and paste from notepad.
I've done this a handful of times before. NJM

Courses Plus Student 35,157 PointsIf you are using windows I presume that you've tried Control -C to copy and Control-V to paste? Are you writing your code in an IDE or in the command line? It would be good to have a little more context. Sometimes copy/paste doesn't work. For example, I can't copy paste from my local computer into a virtual or cloud based desktop...
