        self.y          = y
        self.output     = np.zeros(self.y.shape)

    def feedforward(self):
        self.layer1 = sigmoid(np.dot(self.input, self.weights1))
        self.output = sigmoid(np.dot(self.layer1, self.weights2))

    def backprop(self):
        # application of the chain rule to find derivative of the loss function with respect to weights2 and weights1
        d_weights2 = np.dot(self.layer1.T, (2*(self.y - self.output) * sigmoid_derivative(self.output)))
        d_weights1 = np.dot(self.input.T,  (np.dot(2*(self.y - self.output) * sigmoid_derivative(self.output), self.weights2.T) * sigmoid_derivative(self.layer1)))

        # update the weights with the derivative (slope) of the loss function
        self.weights1 += d_weights1
        self.weights2 += d_weights2

This system will only work for if network layers = 2. No more, that is why your tests with more layers fail. the backpropagation function only modifies weights from the second to last layer and last layer.

Does anyone know how to use more than one layer. I have most of it figured out, but I am stuck on the backpropagation mostly

Sorta figured it out, but how do I back propagate with variable sizes?

Could you tell how to add inputs?

Hi Mustafa, Here is the code that I wrote which lets you give inputs, train the network and keep track of the loss. Best, Madhuri

Hi have an error after running this code it says "unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'float' and 'NoneType' " how could I solve it

Have the same issue.
Any tips, guys?
It seems "NN.feedforward()" is none!
Thanks in adv.
