What do i write to get this program?

[LamaTamr]

This is the code i used but I don’t know how to make it show me the area for the first one before asking for the second set of values.

NumOfTri = eval(input("Enter the number of triangles to calculate the area: "))

Base1 = eval(input("Enter base of triangle: "))
Height1 = eval(input("Enter height of triangle: "))

for i in range(NumOfTri - 1):
  base = eval(input("Enter base of triangle: "))
  height = eval(input("Enter height of triangle: "))

area = base * height 

print("The area of the triangle is: ", area)

Can you please elaborate on the question? I can’t seem to understand. Also, is this a school assignment?

[Idkwhttph]

NumOfTri = eval(input("Enter the number of triangles to calculate the area: "))
for i in range(NumOfTri):
  base = eval(input("Enter base of triangle: "))
  height = eval(input("Enter height of triangle: "))

  area = base * height # must divide by 2, this is area of square.

  print("The area of the triangle is: ", area)

basically you are on the right track, its just that you added some unnecessary code here. Also one thing to change is
for i in range(NumOfTri-1)
You do not need to -1. its unnecessary
and the formula is base*height/2

Thank me later bud

Also you can change the eval for base and height to float to handle decimals

Don’t give the whole answer as this is probably a school assignment. We’re only allowed to point them in the right direction, not give them the answers.

[Idkwhttph]

What he wants is to evaluate the area of the triangle for the first set of values given, then followed by the second set of values.

[Idkwhttph]

You are probably right let me edit some stuff lolz

[Idkwhttph]

Even if he does submit my code to his/her teacher. She would probably question about it since its probably out of point somewhere.
since even if its a homework or sum there would be a set of questions to guide him/her.

Its not an assignment but it was a practice sheet for my programming exam. I was trying to figure out what I did wrong to fix it before my exam. But honestly good on u for looking out cuz I get why it looks that way XD

[LamaTamr]

Thanks mate! I was tryna figure out what was wrong because I was going off some previous code examples I did which had the same premise but it wanted something completely different.

One other question. How do i get the “Done! Triangle Area program is finished” text to appear only after the n amount of triangles have been solved? I tried putting

print(“Done!..”)

at the end of the code, but it appears after the first one is solved.

How is your code formatted? Is it like:

#Number of inputs
for i in range(NumOfTri):
    #Caluclations or whatever
    print("Done!")

If so, just de-indent the last print like so:

#Number of inputs
for i in range(NumOfTri):
    #Caluclations or whatever
print("Done!")

Also, eval is a dangerous thing to use, if you want numbers with no decimals, you could do:

a = int(input("I'm a number! "))

But if you want decimals, you can:

b = float(input("I'm a number with decimals! "))

[LamaTamr]

its currently formatted like this

NumOfTri = eval(input("Enter the number of triangles to calculate the area: "))

for i in range(NumOfTri):
  base = eval(input("Enter base of triangle: "))
  height = eval(input("Enter height of triangle: "))

  area = base * height # must divide by 2, this is area of square.

  print("The area of the triangle is: ", area)
  print("Done! Triangle Area Program is finished")

Please wrap your code in triple backticks like so:

```python
# Some code here
```

This way, the indentation is preserved, and it will also apply some syntax highlighting.
