Why I can not enter output value in the output console in Visual Studio Code

Question

My python code in Visual Code Studio is having some problems:

def calculate(n):
    sum = (n*(n+1))/2
    return sum


in_value = int(input(">"))
answer = int(calculate())
print(answer)

But I can not enter the input value in the output console: Why does that happen ? Thanks for answering

You don't use in_value anywhere in your code. This code should raise an exception because you don't pass a required argument (n) to your function calculate. — Selcuk

@Selcuk, and also calculate function is called without argument — gajendragarg

You are not passing the in_value into calculate() function.

answer = int(calculate(in_value))
