Re: [Tutor] Will the following code ever exit?

Nathan, > Will the following code ever exit, Yes, it will exit - with an error because it can never run. def add(a,b): answer = a+b guess = float(raw_input(a," + ",b," = ")) You never return the answer so it dies when the function dies. num1 = random.choice(range(1,10)) num2 = random.
