In Python, exit isn't a statement, it's a function. So you need to write:

exit()

to actually terminate.

The semicolon ends the print statement, and then you simply evaluate
and do nothing with the sum. Try a comma instead - that'll make it a
second argument to print, so it'll be printed out as you expect.

Thank you for making your problem so clear. You've given your code,
and you've said exactly what it's doing that you don't expect. I
really appreciate that! But one thing I would ask: Next time, please
consider your subject line. That's the first chance you have to grab
someone's attention - "VERY BASIC HELP" doesn't say _what_ you need
help with. :) Your post makes a nice change from some I've seen,
though...

Have fun, happy Pythoning!
