if number>=0 or< 0:
As long as we're helping with this, I'll just add a comment about this
conditional statement. First, if you string together two expressions
with "or" between them, they must each be complete statements.
number>=0 makes sense, but what does <0 mean? You'd really write it as
if number >= 0 or number < 0:
However, that doesn't make sense because if "number" is something that
can be compared with integers like 0, it will either be >= 0 or < 0, so
the condition will always be true. If "number" contains something that
doesn't make sense to compare like that, then it just won't work (i.e.,
it'll likely throw an exception). (usually :)
