What version of Python are you learning?

And you're stuck where?  There are lots of ways to ask a user a
question, ranging from raw_input() to presenting a wxPython dialog box. 
The choice depends on what version you're using, and what GUI library if
any you have available.  Then you have to validate the string you get,
and then do some computations, displaying the result.  The whole thing
needs to be inside a loop.   Show us the code you've got so far, and
indicate where the exception is happening, with full traceback.
