Python [Beginner] Why is this not correct?

[Khalon]

#Add the input number 4 times. Ex. 3+3+3+3
#If the input is 3, the output will be 12

num = int(input("Num: "))

for x in range(2):
    num += num

print(num)

Using an app called "Easy Coder" and
for some reason, the code above is not correct.

Is there a better way to do this? so the actual process of the code is("3+3+3+3) and not(3+3) + (3+3)

Adding the number to itself 4 times is the same as multiplying the number by 4, like so:

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))

print(num * 4)

num = int(input("Enter a number: "))

print(num * 4)

Sorry, I forgot to mention, that this is an exercise related to looping. The task:" Write a program that uses a for loop to calculate any number X 4. Hint - Add the number to a variable 4 times.

But I think I got it 🙂

num = int(input("Num: "))
total = 0

for x in range(4):
    total += num

print(total)
