Hello!! I just completed exercise 7 (chapter 4) in Zelle's book: A certain CS professor gives 100-point exams that are graded on the scale 90–100:A, 80–89:B, 70–79:C, 60–69:D, 60:F. Write a program that accepts an exam score as input and prints out the corresponding grade. I am quite happy

But when i use a number = number + 1 right after the value stays the same, I'm not sure what you mean by that. Now i thought that number = number + 1 just wasn't vailed in python untill i tried it again and it worked, variable = variable + 1 is perfectly valid. It is not the normal math

Re: [Tutor] Bug in python, or is it just 3am

Hi Ryan, I see what confused you; the number + 1 6 print number 5 part. Yeah, it's only evaluating the the first one. So you're asking it What's number + 1? Whereas, number = number + 1 or number += 1 Is saying Make number equal number plus 1 Ha, it's all a learning experience.
