Hi SRI GOWRI MATTAM,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q & A forum.  

It seems the code is stuck because it’s waiting for you to enter input through the submit button. Here’s how you can proceed to complete this step: 

1.Input Planet Names: 

When the input box appears, type the name of a planet (e.g., Earth, Mars) and click the Submit button after each entry. 

Once you’ve entered all the planet names, type done (not case-sensitive) and click Submit again to let the program know you’re finished. 

2.Why the Code Seems Unresponsive: 

The code is running a loop that waits for your input. If no input is provided, it will continue running indefinitely, showing the "running" status. 

3.What to Do If You Skipped Input: 

Click the Stop or Interrupt button in the toolbar to stop the code. 

Then, rerun the cell and follow the steps above to enter the planet names and complete the process by typing done. 

We’ve tested this process on our end, and it worked as expected. Please see the attached screenshot for guidance on how to input planet names and complete the exercise.
