python code assistance.

Hello,

I am getting these error with the below code. Please advise how to fix. Thanks!

TypeError: input expected at most 1 argument, got 5

maxnumber = 10
userstring = input(“Please enter a number”)
usernum = int(userstring)

While usernum > maxnumber:
print("You enter:”,usernum,”The biggest number is”,maxnumber,”Please enter again”)
userstring = input(“You enter:”,usernum,”The biggest number is”,maxnumber”,”Please enter again”)
usernum=int(user string)

print(“Thanks for entering:”,usernum)

HainKurt

you have to use + in print function

print(You enter:”,usernum,”The biggest number is”,maxnumber,”Please enter again”)
>>>
print(You enter: ” + usernum + ” The biggest number is ” + maxnumber + ” Please enter again”)

Norie

Try this.

maxnumber = 10
userstring = input('Please enter a numberL\n')
usernum = int(userstring)

while usernum > maxnumber:
   userstring = input(f'You enter:{usernum}, The biggest number is: {maxnumber}, Please enter again:\n')
   usernum=int(userstring)

HainKurt, I am getting another type error which is "can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

Norie, I tried your way as well. It is not showing usernum and maxnumber as numbers but this result:

You enter:(usernum), The biggest number is: (maxnumber), Please enter again:

Norie

Can you post the exact code you are using?

I updated the original code I submitted, but it is pretty much similar. Please check again.

run it and you will see the error. Any number smaller the maxnumber will be printed fine.

Norie

What happens if you copy and paste the code I posted and run it?

I will try that later and update. Thanks again...

Norie,

I think I tried it this morning and I got the below if I enter the number bigger than the maxnumber.

You enter:(usernum), The biggest number is: (maxnumber), Please enter again:

Instead, I want the following:

You enter:12, The biggest number is: 10, Please enter again:

I will run it again later and update.
