[Tutor] this is hard

#welcome
print "welcome ryan I just wanted you to have a second calculator!"
print "here you can ahose from what you would like o ind the rarea of..."
input = raw_input("type 1 for a rectangle")
if input == '1':

     height = raw_input("please type height here:")
     width = raw_input("please type width here:")
     area = int(height) * int(width)
     print "The area is" + str(area)

I made a few minor changes, including correcting one spelling error
("heigth").

You can use raw_input() to get input from the user, and then specify what
sort of data you want to translate the input into. For instance, you may
want to use int (integer) or float (floating-point) for the math part, and I
chose int here.

Also, on the 5th line, I changed 1 to '1', because raw_input() grabs the
user's input as a string, which uses quotes.
