You cannot subtract strings, but you can cast them to integers and then it will work. [code]a = raw_input("Enter name: ") b = int(raw_input("Enter the year you were born: ")) c = int(raw_input("Enter the year it is now: ")) print "You,",a,",are ",c - b,"years old." [/code]

Permutations of words are actually fun: [code]# permutations using Python module iterools # needs Python26 or higher # itertools.permutations(iterable[, r]) is a generator/iterator import itertools as it word = "rats" # default is len(word) for p in it.permutations(word): # join tuple p to form a string print( p, ''.join(p) ) …
