power = 0
result = 0
while result <= dec:
 * *result = 2 ** power
 * *power = power + 1
print power
print result

When it gets to the while loop, it freezes. Why does it freeze and how can I fix it?

It's becuase the variable dec hasn't been defined (as far as I can see from your example, unless there is more code...?

When things freez you have to put them in a microwave on defrost, or put them in front of a fire or something. One time my toe froze and i had to put it next to the fire to bring back circulation... it was disgusting...

Yea, I forgot the first line.

(Toggle Plain Text)

dec = raw_input("Number: ")
power = 0
result = 0
while result <= dec:
 * *result = 2 ** power
 * *power = power + 1
print power
print result

dec = raw_input("Number: ") power = 0 result = 0 while result <= dec: result = 2 ** power power = power + 1 print power print result

dec = raw_input("Number: ") power = 0 result = 0 while result <= dec: result = 2 ** power power = power + 1 print power print result

It's because dec is a string variable because of the "raw_input" command.

Just try:

(Toggle Plain Text)

dec = input("Number: ")

That should fix your problem

And tempest, nice pic :puke:
Beeg
