Reset to default

if n >= 0:      
      break

This breaks you out of the While loop, so your program simply ends if the user gives you a positive number.

  • @Curioskiwi, my logic is: as long a the user continues to supply a number less than 0, the program will continue to prompt for input. As soon as a number greater than 0 is supplied, it jumps out of the loop to access the other parts of the program. I think I'm right on that. My problem is why it doesn't print the result. Improper indentation? Please, someone help!

  • @curiouskiwi is correct. The code after your while loop is indented, thus making ALL your code part of the while loop. If your intention is to make something resembling a do/while loop, simply un-indent the rest of your code. :-)

  • Thanks, @Curiouskiwi, but if I make it: if n < 0:, it repeatedly continues to prompt for input. What do I do?

  • @Curiouskiwi, et al thanks a million! You were right! It's printing now, the problems remaining now are just that of logic which I will sort on my own. Thanks, once again, (that is 1m + 1 now!!!). Lol!!
