I'm new to python and for the second day following an MIT course <https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-0001-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-in-python-fall-2016/resources/lecture-2-branching-and-iteration/>, when I use the following codes from the example py files provided, it encounters error and it had to be restarted to be used again.
The codes are as follows: *First one which crashes it is:* text = input("Type anything... ") print(5*text) num = int(input("Type a number... ")) print(5*num) *This one crashes it too:* x = float(input("Enter a number for x: ")) y = float(input("Enter a number for y: ")) if x == y: print("x and y are equal") if y != 0: print("therefore, x / y is", x/y) elif x < y: print("x is smaller") elif x > y: print("y is smaller") print("thanks!") Mistake details are as follows: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/fakamaz/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/qtconsole/base_frontend_mixin.py", line 138, in _dispatch handler(msg) File "/home/fakamaz/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/spyder/plugins/ipythonconsole/widgets/debugging.py", line 278, in _handle_input_request return super(DebuggingWidget, self)._handle_input_request(msg) File "/home/fakamaz/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/qtconsole/frontend_widget.py", line 512, in _handle_input_request self._readline(msg['content']['prompt'], callback=callback, password=msg['content']['password']) File "/home/fakamaz/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/qtconsole/console_widget.py", line 2422, in _readline self._show_prompt(prompt, newline=False, separator=False) TypeError: _show_prompt() got an unexpected keyword argument 'separator' Interesting enough, when I try to run the code on my friends Windows PC - it works for a certain extend, but not completely. For instance it let you enter number or word, but do not "print' it later on... On my Linux PC - it produces an error as above all the time... So what gives? Did I break Spyder? :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spyder" group.
