Thank you for the reply.. I tried putting the print repr(n) before I defined 'n' with raw_input. My script looks like this------def divisible(n): if n%3 == 0: print n, "is divisible by 3" else: print n, "is not divisible by 3" n= raw_input("enter a number= ") print repr(n) print divisible(n)
I don't understand what the problem is
The problem is raw_input gives you a string. So in your example n is a string and when it comes to n%3 python tries to format your string, but since you haven't any formating symbols in it, it fails.
To fix your program, convert the n to int: divisible(int(n)) - Patrick _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
