🔒 explain this error

[left summit]

so it has asked me to write a program which asks the user for two numbers. The program will then print out the sum and the product of the two numbers.

The program should function as follows:

Number 1: 3
Number 2: 7
The sum of the numbers: 10
The product of the numbers: 21

and then i wrote the code as

number2 = int(input("Number 2:"))
addition = (number1 + number2)
product = (number1 * number2)


print(f"The sum of the numbers:{addition}")
print(F"The product of the numbers:{product}") ```

i got the result correctly and exactly but it is showing this error

Hey @left summit!

It looks like you pasted Python code without syntax highlighting.

Please use syntax highlighting to improve the legibility of your code and make it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

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

it works for me.
could you maybe show a screenshot of the code in your ide

[left summit]

just a second

[eager oak]

Probably formatting that the tester is checking and failing.

ie should there be a space between the colon and the product or sum, etc

[ancient sand]

yeah im thinking he might have put a space to much in front

[left summit]

i changed the caps f in the last statement and now its showing this

[ancient sand]

i think you didnt put in a int but a char

[eager oak]

That error is from trying to put a non-input (ie just pressed enter) into a number.

[left summit]

my bad

so this is what i got now

it is still saying the same

[ancient sand]

yeah can you show a screenshot of your code

[left summit]

I literally got what it wants but still its showing the same error

[analog ruin]

You need a space between : and the number.

The sum of the numbers:(space here)10

[left summit]

not working still

[left summit]

Oh yeah this worked

thanks mate

What was the problem tho

[analog ruin]

It was looking for it to be formatted a certain way.
