Hi,

I would need to code the following using Python using "For" and "range".

That is, if the user gives input 3, the program calculates 0+1+2, if 5 then 0+1+2+3+4. Finally, the program prints the final result to the user in the form "Accumulated:" and the answer.

Example output -------------------------------------------

Program asks user how many laps?: 5 It accumulated: 10 ------------------------------------------- The verification of program output does not account for whitespace and is not case-sensitive (the least strict comparison level)

So I did this:

int num = input("How many laps? : "); int sum = 0; values = range(num); for i in values: sum +=i; print("Accumulated " + sum);

I get an error while translating and I can't for the life of me figure out why, because the syntax on line 1 looks fine to me. Error below.

File "main.py", line 1

int num = input("How many laps? : ");

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Toni
