ok, so I've just started to learn python so very sorry for being a absolute dumbell. I'm doing some test stuff and noticed when I build and run my programs, they run yes, but they don't actually do anything. I've made sure to set the right language in sublime editor. perhaps it's something I've done wrong? when the console prints out the first question, i type in a number, but then nothing else happens. it seems to only print the first line and that's it. it's supposed to prompt the "second:" but it does nothing. I would really appreciate your help. thank you.

I can't see anything wrong with your code other than a typo in line 3 (fist should be first), and the fact that you use sum (a predefined function) as a variable. The latter should not cause any issues, unless you want to use that function at a later point in time.

Forgive me for asking a basic question, but it does sound like you're not pressing the enter key after entering your first number.

I believe I press enter after inputting. but let me try again to make sure.

That's weird. Have tried running it without the help of sublime?
