Why does multiplication repeats the number several times

Question

I don t know how to multiply in Python   If I do this   price   1   9   It will appear like this   111111111   And the answer needs to be 9  1x9 9   How can I make it multiply correctly

You cannot multiply an integer by a string. To be sure, you could try using the int (short for integer which means whole number) command, like this for example -

firstNumber = int(9)
secondNumber = int(1)
answer = (firstNumber*secondNumber)

Hope that helped :)

Only when you multiply integer with a string  you will get repetitive string    You can use int   factory method to create integer out of string form of integer     gt  gt  gt  int  1     int  9   9  gt  gt  gt    gt  gt  gt   1    9  111111111   gt  gt  gt   gt  gt  gt  1   9 9  gt  gt  gt    gt  gt  gt  1    9   9     If both operand is int  you will get multiplication of them as int  If first operand is string  and second is int   Your string will be repeated that many times  as the value in your integer 2nd operand  If first operand is integer  and second is string  then you will get multiplication of both numbers in string form

Use integers instead of strings   make sure to cast your string to ints  price   int  1     9  The actual example code you posted will return 9 not 111111111

Should work   In  1   price   1 9  In  2   price Out 2   9

I think you re confused about types here  You ll only get that result if you re multiplying a string  Start the interpreter and try this    gt  gt  gt  print  1    9 111111111  gt  gt  gt  print 1   9 9  gt  gt  gt  print int  1     9 9   So make sure the first operand is an integer  and not a string   and it will work
