Mark/ All,

I read the link on Handling Exceptions.  The first bit of code worked for my purposes. I was able to reduce my number of lines of code significantly and my program works! Thank you all for your help solving this problem!

My plan is to create several different programs that perform specific Algebraic operations.  My boys are learning Algebra 2 and I thought it might be a fun way to help us all learn Algebra and programming together.  Python seems to be a good language for learning how to program.

Thanks again!

Scott
