884 PointsQuestion on squaring challenge task
Hello, I am getting an end of file error on this line of this code but I don't understand why.
number = int(input("What is your number ?"))
Is there something I'm missing? Thanks

See if that helps. If not, let me know the course, stage, and challenge step you are on and I'll look further.

In addition to the line of code that I have listed I also wrote lines that would print the result. It turns out that Having anything other that JUST what the question asks for causes an error. What was frustration me was that the only guidance I got was the file error and a reference to “”. With only that I didn’t understand that the lines of code that I added after it were the actual problem.
I hope this helps.
