Pycharm IDE

[dn]

Kevin,

As mentioned in another response, the format of these messages seems 
very confused.

Please copy-paste all of (the pertinent part of) the code, and ensure 
that the line-endings are in the correct places, tab/indentation looks 
correct, etc?
(this will allow us to copy the same code into our PyCharm software and 
see what is happening!)

There still appears to be both an apostrophe (') and quotation-marks 
("). Do you want the user to see one/both?

There was mention of this being an input prompt - hence the 
question-mark. Are you aware that this could be done as part of the 
input() function?

How about creating a string and then printing that, eg

prompt = f'"I am thinking of a number between 1 to {LIMIT}"
print( prompt )

NB because of the question asked earlier, the above code is NOT 
syntactically-correct Python!
NBB am assuming there's previous code which defines LIMIT

No error message is displayed.
