Hi, I'm trying to figure this problem.

This program is to get a list (a sequence) of numbers using a given equation, but once it's calculated, the intial two numbers aren't listed...

import math

def main():
    print ("This program prints a sequence of integer numbers using given square root equation."

    x, y = eval(input("Please enter the first two integers in sequence:"))
    z = math.sqrt (x**2 + y**2)

    n=int(input("Input the length of the sequence:"))
    for i in range(n):
        x, y = y, math.sqrt (x**2 + y**2)
        print ((y))
        
main()

That's because you're not printing them. If you want the first two numbers to show up, print them before the loop.

I worked out a couple bugs but I'm having trouble implementing a couple suggestions... any help will be much appreciated.

import math

def main():
    print ("This program prints a sequence of integer numbers using given square root equation.")
    print ("Please enter the first two integers in sequence:")
 
    x, y = eval(input())
    n=eval(input("Input the length of the sequence:"))
    print ("The Integer Sequence is:")
    
    for i in range(n):
        z = math.sqrt (x**2 + y**2)
        print (round(z))
        x=y
        y=z
        
                     
main()

The suggestions are:
-need to loop n-2 times and have the first two integers are printed before the for loop
-need to store the rounded values of variables a and b using multiple assignment instead of storing the non-integer value

again, any help will be much appreciated...!!! Thank you in advance

as sepp2k put it, you still need to print these initial values,

maybe this?

#import math

def main():
    # x,y = input; basically makes x = y = input
    #so do it like this
    x = input("gimme number: ")
    y = input("gimme number: ")
    n = input("gimme number: ")

    #prints initial values
    print x
    print y

    #your loop
    for i in range(n-2):
        z = ((x**2)+(y**2))**(1/2.0)
        print round(z)
        x=y
        y=z
main()

however, you can also do this for your variables if you want

x,y,n  = input("gimme number: "), input("gimme number: "), input("gimme number: ")

print round(x),"\n",round(y)

Here is the solution to the problem posted by the instructor...

import math

def main():
    print("This program prints out a sequence of integer numbers.")
    print("Each integer is the square root of previous two rounded")
    print("to the closest whole number.")

    a, b = eval(input("Please enter the first two integers: "))
    L = eval(input("Please enter the length of the sequence: "))
    print("The output sequence is: ")
    print(a)
    print(B)/>
    for i in range(L-2):
        c = round(math.sqrt(a**2 + b**2))
        print(c)
        a = b
        b = c        
    
main()

I haven't posted my final code, but came close... Thank you BloodyInari!!! Thank you again!
