[Solved] Why won’t my python program work?

by


raw_input returns a string … you cannot square a string (or raise it to any power for that matter)

try

def square(n):
   n = int(n) #this will try to force it to be an integer instead of a string
   ...

print square(n)

beware if a user types “hello” or something though .. as it cannot convert that to an integer
