• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

Enter desired table length: 2
Kilograms Pounds
1 2.20
2 4.40

'''py#Request user input the length of table
amtKilo = int(input("Enter desired table length: "))

#Display headers for table

print(format("Kilograms", "<10s"), format("Pounds", "<10s"))

#Display table using the amtKilos

for i in range(1, amtKilo + 1):
print(f"{i:<10d}", end=' ')
pounds = (i * 2.2)
for i in range(1, amtKilo):
print(format(pounds, ".2f"))'''

Hey @polar swallow!

It looks like you are trying to paste code into this channel.

You seem to be using the wrong symbols to indicate where the code block should start. The correct symbols would be ```, not '''.

Furthermore, it looks like you incorrectly specified a language for your code block. Make sure you put your code on a new line following py. There must not be any spaces after py.

Here is an example of how it should look:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

'''py

backticks

not single quotes

If you don't insist on doing it all yourself, try the "tabulate" library

I can't understand what you're trying to do

I'm guessing you want this

!e

amtKilo = 10


print(format("Kilograms", "<10s"), format("Pounds", "<10s"))


for k in range(1, amtKilo + 1):
    print(f"{k:<10d}", end=" ")
    pounds = k * 2.2
    print(format(pounds, ".2f"))

or if you as me, this is better

!e

import tabulate

table = []

for kilos in range(1, 11):
    pounds = kilos * 2.2
    table.append([kilos, pounds])

print(tabulate.tabulate(table, headers=["Kilograms", "Pounds"]))

pff

it gives this ```
Kilograms Pounds

      1       2.2
      2       4.4
      3       6.6
      4       8.8
      5      11
      6      13.2
      7      15.4
      8      17.6
      9      19.8
     10      22

takes care of all that formatting for you
