ok, so I’ve just started to learn python so very sorry for being a absolute dumbell. I’m doing some test stuff and noticed when I build and run my programs, they run yes, but they don’t actually do anything. I’ve made sure to set the right language in sublime editor. perhaps it’s something I’ve done wrong? when the console prints out the first question, i type in a number, but then nothing else happens. it seems to only print the first line and that’s it. it’s supposed to prompt the “second:” but it does nothing. I would really appreciate your help. thank you.
This will not fix the problem, but will give you more info: save the file to disk and try running it outside of Sublime. Open a command line and run ``python your_file.py`. If it works, that will tell you that the problem is related to Sublime. If it fails like in Sublime, then there is something weird happening… and I have no idea what that could be.
it works!, oh but that must mean there is something wrong with sublime then.that must mean there is something wrong with sublime then.
Yeah, sorry, I cannot help with that, never used Sublime.
But at least you can use the command line until you figure that out. Not ideal, but better than nothing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
ah thank you, i’d never figured it out! well, I guess i’ll just find some other software to view it then. but yeah thanks!
Use VSCode or PyCharm. It’s what most people use anyways.
Give both a try. VSCode is lightweight and a bit more “manual”. PyCharm is a full IDE with advanced features but sometimes it can be too much for a small script.
I can’t see anything wrong with your code other than a typo in line 3 (fist should be first), and the fact that you use sum (a predefined function) as a variable. The latter should not cause any issues, unless you want to use that function at a later point in time.
Forgive me for asking a basic question, but it does sound like you’re not pressing the enter key after entering your first number.
I believe I press enter after inputting. but let me try again to make sure.
yeah i did, but still nothing.That’s weird. Have tried running it without the help of sublime?

Sublime does not support input via it’s integrated output.
It looks like a CLI, but it is not. There are probably ways to do this, but it’s just easier to use IDLE, be aware of getting flashbanged.
