this is the code
num=16
for i in range(1,16):
print(num,'x',i,'=',num*i)
import random
number=random.randint(1,16)
for counter in range(1,6):
ans=int(input('16','x',number,'=',number*16))
if ans==number*16:
print("well done you got it right")
else:
print("Sorry your answer was wrong the correct answer is:"+str(number*16))

this is the error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 7, in <module>
ans=int(input('16','x',number,'=',number*16))
TypeError: input expected at most 1 argument, got 5

Why are you trying to pass all those things to input? It takes a single argument that is the prompt you want it to print out when it reads input from the command line.
