Thanks for the reply. I am using windows 10.
>>> import math >>> >>> >>> help (math) 'more' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. >>> help Type help() for interactive help, or help(object) for help about object. >>> help(math) 'more' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. >>> >>> help(print) 'more' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. >>> Also help worked when I switched to plain integer as you mentioned below but looks like it didn't save it. Btw - I am pretty new to python hence asking these questions. Thanks again!
