> cal_opt = int(raw_input("What option would you like: ")) Here you get the input and convert it to a number (int() ) which is fine.
> if cal_opt == "1": But here you compare it to a string (see the quotes). So either remove the convertion to int() around raw_input or remove the quotes around the values. The things you compare must be the same type. > That's not an option. Try again. > Option: 3 > 3*4 > 12 I'm not sure how the multiplication appeared though!
