frustrated stupid newbie question

[John Purser]

I tried the same code and got no result.  The code would run, ask me how
high it should check, then nothing.  I tried a bunch of  'print' statements
to see where it was dying but it never seemed to run the code below the
'input()' statement.

Something's going on here.
