731 Pointspython exception not working as example
user_string = input("What's your word? ")
user_num = input("What's your number? ")
try:
our_num = int(user_num)
except:
our_num = float(user_num)
if not "." in user_num:
print(user_string(our_num))
else:
ratio = round(len(user_string) *our_num)
print(user_string(ratio))
When I try this like the example, the code runs through the questions, but when i give it a number, it just ends and gives me a command prompt.

Treehouse Guest TeacherYou're using parentheses where you should be using brackets. Inside of your print() functions, where you're accessing a member of the string, you should use brackets. Like: my_string[1] instead of my_string(1).
