i press enter after i have finished typing then it executes the command then when i press enter again it shows me the error message. How would i copy it to show you? like you showed me |

Ahh, without seeing the error message here's my first guess on what is going on. Like I said above after you enter the first line and hit enter, it immediately executes that line. This means that it actually wants you to enter the multiplier number right then. If you just hit enter again it will give an error because it can't get any value from what you entered to assign to the multiplier variable.
In order to copy the output it depends on how you're running the interpreter. The way I normally do it and I'll take a guess that you might be doing the same is to run python from a command prompt. In order to copy out of a command prompt you right click and select "mark". Then click and drag to select the text you want to copy and right click again once you have it selected. You can then paste it wherever you need to like you normally would.

A trivial misunderstanding results in completely non-functional code and hours of frustration. This is why I am not a programmer!
Tuks, you have had the great fortune to experience this reality early in your programming career. Run away, while you still can. Any fate is preferable to learning Vim, to say nothing of coming to love and rely on it. It's not too late to study math instead...

Hmm, I may have to go back and edit that first quote.

Heh, I'm just yanking your chain, Janzert. I confess that I have used both vi and emacs out of necessity, never got comfortable with either, and grew to dislike them both. But then again, I've never written a program more than a couple hundred lines long, so I have never had to outgrow Notepad.
