Python code doesnt run - tsetsko - Sep-01-2017 I have the following issue. I have this code: def power(b, e): result = b ** e print " %d to the power of %d is %d." % (b,e,result) power(37,2) It is very simple one I know, but I am learning. I follow a course in codeacademy and this is one of the tasks. In codeacademy this code runs, with no errors. On my mac where I use Atom, the code runs as well. However on my windows (Visual Basic Code and Atom) it doesn't saying that there is an error on line 3 - point towards the end quote before the % (b,e,... Does anyone know why the problem occurs? I have python installed on both my Mac and PC, and I have included Python in the Path setting on my Windows machine. Best Regards, Tsvetan RE: Python code doesnt run - Larz60+ - Sep-01-2017 your indentation is missing. Need 4 spaces for function body: def power(b, e): result = b ** e print(" %d to the power of %d is %d." % (b,e,result)) power(37,2)results: A better way:def power(b, e): result = b ** e # decimal output print("{} to the power of {} is {}".format(b, e, result)) # hex output print("{} to the power of {} is {:02X} hex".format(b, e, result)) power(37,2)results:
RE: Python code doesnt run - wavic - Sep-02-2017 It's beter in almost all cases for a function to return a something else than None. That way you could use the returned object for someting else. def power(a,b): return a**b print(power(37*3)) result = 40 + 49245 / 14 * power(3, 44) print("{:.4}".format(result)) RE: Python code doesnt run - tsetsko - Sep-02-2017 Thank you very much for the reply! |
