[Tutor] User input question

[shey crompton]

That's got rid of the error message, thanks.
It now just squares the number that the user inputs, and also returns 'None'
on the line below (confused?). 

I am thinking I need a range command to get it to do multiply within a
range. I have just tried adding:
	For n in range(1,13):
Between the 'def' line and the if statement with no result. Oh well, gives
me something else to ponder on during an otherwise boring day at work. :-)

I'm still a newbie to python so I am taking my best guess in saying to
un-indent the print that is causing the error.
