Error?

[gruntfutuk]

A way to solve this is to get rid of the ipt.split(" ") and change your int(input(...)) to eval(input(...)) like I do here,

Using eval() on user input is a really bad thing. A user could enter code, for example, to delete all the files on your drive!

You are currently trying to apply int() directly to input() return string, but as you have a string with two 'numbers' in it with a space between, that will cause an error.

the ipt.split() method returns a list of strings. You have to convert each string to an integer.

Try this:

ipt = input("Pythagorean theorem, Enter sides A and B and I will solve for C\n")
a, b = [int(x) for x in ipt.split(" ")]

which uses list comprehension to step through each element in the list of strings from the split() method and covert it to an integer, leaving a list of integers in place of the list of strings. The assignment unpacks the two entries to a and b.
