title: Translating Pseudocode steps into Python algorithm
body: <p>I'm entirely new to programming and I'm supposed to turn pseudocode into a Python algorithm for a class assignment. I've tested mine algorithm (if you can even call it that) a few too many times and keep coming up with error messages. Any suggestions or resources that might be able to help would be greatly appreciated! </p>
  
  <p>Pseudocode Order:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Declare Real radius  </li>
  <li>Declare Real area </li>
  <li>Display “ Enter value for radius : “ </li>
  <li>Input radius  </li>
  <li>Set area = 3.14 * radius * radius  </li>
  <li>Display Area  </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Attempted Code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>radius = 1.0 
  Area = 1.0 
  print(" Enter value for radius : ") 
  radius = input(" Enter value for radius : ") 
  Area = 3.14 * radius * radius 
  print(Area) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and the error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float'</p>
  </blockquote>
