im having some problems

[eopia]

ok so im doing the thing from this website http://programming-crash-course.com/programed_interactivity
here is my code from notepad


gallon_price = 2.41

print
print "This program calculates a car mileage"
print

# A line starting with a # is a comment
# Use it to comment important parts of your code

#
# The raw_input() function asks the user for a text
# As a text can't be multiplied or divided the
# float() function tranforms the text into a decimal number
#
distance = float(raw_input("How many miles were measured ? "))
print
consumed = float(raw_input("How many gallons of gas were consumed ? "))

mpg = distance / consumed
cost = gallon_price / mpg

print
print "mileage is", mpg, "miles per gallon"
print
print "cost is US$", cost, "per mile"
print


whenever i execute the programs it gives me the prompts and then once i answer them the screen just goes away and gives me no answe

Try inserting this as the last line of your program:

Code

raw_input('Press enter to exit')

i had the same problem, but i found that it was due to entering whole # values, instaead use decimal values(4.0, etc..) worked for me
