Learning question...
Any idea why the following program does not work? I was learning IO on
Python and the following generates a TypeError: range() integer end
argument expected, got str.
I am a beginner.
# print input name (str k), j times using raw_input
def hello():
j=raw_input("Please type in the number of times you want to print
")
k=raw_input("Please type in your name ")
printname(j,k)
def printname(j,k):
for i in range(j):
print ("Hello %s" % k)

Thanks very much for the advice. Will follow...
