I'm fairly confused here. But I would do this instead: UserInput1 = input("Enter 1 for the calculator, 2 for the Fibonacci sequence, or something else to quit: ") While quit = 0: if UserInput1 == 1: print input("\nPut in an equation: ") else if UserInput1 == 2: a, b, n = 1, 1, (input("\nWhat Fibonacci number do you want to go to? ")) while n > 0: print a a, b, n = b, a+b, n-1 UserInput2 = input("\nEnter 1 for the calculator, 2 for the Fibonacci sequence, or something else to quit: ") else quit = 1 the above is not finished... but without actually knowing what your trying to do.. the above code I just did would make a lot more sense.. I hope... You hit a wall cause the first while loop you had before never ends.. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
