Any comments or input would be great. Thanks guys!

Answer 1

well it works! i wish i had more comments but since its the first assignment there isn't too much to comment on. Maybe just some helpful hints, like for instance, raw_input converts everything you enter into a string so if you want the user to input a float or an integer than you can either use the input() function or int(raw_input()) or float(raw_input()). So maybe as an additional exercise try to get the users age and print it out, or perhaps calculate how many days old they are? (id treat leap years as regular years for simplicities sake) Good luck!

it is possible to account for (or not!) leap days, leap seconds .....
