Question

Why does nothing happen when I press Run?

Answer

Any time the raw_input method appears in your code, the console is going to pause and wait for you to type a response and will continue executing the code in order after you press enter.
If you’ve typed a response and aren’t able to continue, or aren’t prompted for a response in the first place, please try the troubleshooting steps below:

  • Please use Chrome! It’s typically the most reliable browser.
  • Clear your browser’s cache and press Ctrl + F5 (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac)
  • If nothing above worked, please go through our official troubleshooting guide or search the forums for similar issues.

I’ve tried to do this exercise in Mozilla. I’ve changed to Chrome, clear the browser’s data and press Ctrl + F5. I’ve gone to the official troubleshooting guide and still does not work. I would appreciate how to solve it and see how the programm will execute (although I may imagine an idea). I’m going to continue with the lection nevertheless. Thanks for helping me in advance.

You can still see the program run by manually setting the value rather than getting user input. You’re at the console, so just set a value.

raw_input stopped working correctly in the LE a long time ago.

press what for linux mint 20.1?
It did not work. Should it show the inputted text?
At least it stopped when I hit Ctrl-c. BTW that is an old way to stop the os that predated DOS.
Many would not think of it.
