Im working on writing the main interface script for my calculator program, which before worked fine, and asked for the category you wanted, and then ran the function that would run the rest of the program.
I added 2 more of the functions, and it worked fine, but when I swapped over to VS Code, it started overriding the input and going straight to running the blocks() function.
If I comment out the blocks() function, it works as expected, but then If I comment out the other functions, it goes straight back to overriding the input line

thats the main interface script
