This is my code (Python 3.2)
Total = eval(input("How many numbers do you want to enter? "))
#say the user enters 3
for i in range(Total):
Numbers = input("Please enter a number ")
#User enters in 1
#User enters in 2
#User enters in 3
print ("The sum of the numbers you entered is", Numbers)
#It displays 3 instead of 6
How do i get it to add up properly?
Just a quick and dirty rewrite of your lines:
Total = int(input("How many numbers do you want to enter? "))
#say the user enters 3
Numbers=[]
for i in range(Total):
Numbers.append(int(input("Please enter a number "))
#User enters in 1
#User enters in 2
#User enters in 3
print ("The sum of the numbers you entered is", sum(Numbers))
#It displays 3 instead of 6
I assume that you use Python 3 because of the way you print, but if you use Python 2 use raw_input instead of input.
This code will fix your problem:
total = int(input("How many numbers do you want to enter? "))
#say the user enters 3
sum_input = 0
for i in range(total):
sum_input += int(input("Please enter a number "))
#User enters in 1
#User enters in 2
#User enters in 3
print ("The sum of the numbers you entered are", sum_input)
A number of comments:
under_store for variable names and function names, and CapWords for class names. eval is questionable here. This article explains very well on why you shouldn't use eval in most cases.
total is even worse.You need to declare your variable outside the for loop, and keep on adding input numbers to it in the loop..
numbers = 0
for i in range(Total):
numbers += int(input("Please enter a number "))
print ("The sum of the numbers you entered are", numbers)
