Question

Perfect Cube Question (Lectures 1 & 2)

I have the following code:

user_value = raw_input('Enter an integer')
comp_guess = 0

while (comp_guess*comp_guess*comp_guess) < abs(user_value):
comp_guess = comp_guess + 1
print comp_guess

____________________________

When I run this shell, the console just keeps printing new guesses from 1 ---> infinity, no matter even if I input "1" as the user_value for input.

Why doesn't it stop print guesses once (comp_guess^3) is greater than the user_value?

Answer 1

Raw input takes in text. You need to turn it into a number.

Answer 2

You are right! Thank you for your help. I was asking the user for a string input when I should be asking for an int.
