def generate_n_chars(n,s="."):

while count < n:

return res
print generate_n_chars(raw_input("Enter the integer value : "),raw_input("Enter the character : "))
I am beginner in python and I don't know why this loop going to infinity. Please someone correct my program
The reason is because the input will be evaluated and set to a string. Therefore, you're comparing two variables of different types. You need to cast your input to an integer.
def generate_n_chars(n,s="."):
res=""
count=0
while count < n:
count=count+1
res=res+s
generate_n_chars(int(raw_input("Enter the integer value : ")),raw_input("Enter the character : "))
def generate_n_chars(n, s = "."):
res = ""
count = 0
while count < n:
count = count + 1
res = res + s
return res
print generate_n_chars(input("Enter the integer value : "), raw_input("Enter the character : "))
Here input("Enter the integer value : ") input instead of raw_input
raw_input() => https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#raw_input
input() => https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#input
