There would appear to be a infinite loop. Please show us your code.
Belay. It’s the LE timing out while the program waits for input. There is a very short time window in which to enter something at the input prompt. Refresh and try again. This time be quick.
This is an issue with using raw_input. Myself and a number of other people have submitted bug reports on this but it’s never been fixed. Getting the same issue 21/10/2021
You just have to let it fail twice and then click ‘View Solution’ in order to continue.
And it will never be fixed. The Python 2 content is not being maintained and users will just have to work around the few issues that surface, mostly pertaining to raw_input(). Don’t use it. Just code in the values and watch the code perform. Use print to show intermediate output for a better look at the process.
Python 2 is long ago sunsetted so take this opportunity to just experience the language and learn as much as you can from the free public platform. That will prepare you for Python 3 in the Pro and Student subscriptions.
Bottom line, take from this what learning experience you can and make the most of it. It’s free, and 99% of it still works.
