It doesn't like your evaluation of n, so delete the equal sign at the end of the assignment

I don't know how to mention users, but thanks @yakpol and @IRstuff, i initially thought that @IRstuff was referring to the equal sign at the end of second assignment, thanks also @yakpol for your lengthy explanation, thanks also @structSU10
