raw_input passing to fun



the output of this code below is not what one would expect, it outputs
all kind of numbers and it never stops, I want to ask the user for a
number and then print out the multiplication table up to that number.

thanks

************************************************** **************
import math

def printMultiples(n, hight):
i = 1
while i <= hight:
print n*i, '\t',
i = i + 1
print
def printMultTable(hight):
i = 1
while i <= hight:
printMultiples(i, i)
i = i + 1

num = raw_input ("produce a multiplication table up to: ")
printMultTable(num)

That's what you want, but not what you did. You asked them for a string.

thanks

print n*i, '\t',
i = i + 1
print
def printMultTable(hight):
i = 1
while i <= hight:
Temporarily, insert here:
print "types:", type(i), type(hight)
print "values:", i, hight
if i > 100: return
printMultiples(i, i)
i = i + 1

num = raw_input ("produce a multiplication table up to: ")
printMultTable(num)


Try this: printMultTable(int(num))

You may wish to consider changing "hight" to "height" :-)
