Cant get this program to work! I dont know whats wrong!
It''s in python, by the way:
I don''t know python, but have some general suggestions:
1) Do you get runtime errors or just nothing? I''m assuming this is a shell, and thus is not compiled.
2) Do you see the first print statements? If so, can you enter a number?
3) If you can enter a number, print out the value right after the input statement to see what you got. Does it look right? Is it a number, or a string?
4) Put print statements at other places as debug aids, even if just to say "got to line 20" or some such.
Good luck.

I don''t know the language but has it got something to do with this:
if shape == 1:
Are you sure that colon is supposed to be there. It''s not on any of the other conditional statements.

It''s your first block of prints. They should be to the far left and should stay there.
Your print statements in the form they''re in now means they''re nested, but they shouldn''t. So jst press backspace...
And, don''t just keep pressing spacebar, use tab. But if you do know to use tab, online, please use ...
