Hey!
I am trying to make a program that calculates the fibonacci series up to a cetain value and it worked fine but when I tried to add a feature that asks you to type a number and then calculate the serie up to that number it jst keeps going and going. I don't think that it understands that it is actually a number that I type. Have a look.

(Toggle Plain Text)

fib = raw_input("Skriv en siffra:")
newnumb = fib 
def fib(newnumb):
    a, b = 0, 1
    while b < newnumb:
         print b,
         a, b = b, a+b
fib(newnumb)
