Python VS Code: using print command twice but not getting output from terminal - kdx264 - Jan-12-2023
Hi, I have autism and am brand new to Python. I am trying to output these two print statements I wrote in my code to see the sum of a, b, and c as well as the total number of apples that Adam, John, and Mary have. However, when I tried running those print statements the terminal did not output anything and I am not sure what what it is that I am missing?
Here is a URL of the image of my code and output:

96**98**97 is taking a long time to compute because it is an immensely large number. How big? This is 5**5**5.

Remove "total_apples_product = john**mary**adam" from your program and you will see your print.

a number that large will run out of memory on the largest computer ever made. do you hope to be able to save that number.
FYI: i, too, am on the autism spectrum: Asperger's. there is a good chance that others here are, as well. no reason to be afraid here. we all get along. join in.
