My first code

[Flappo]

My first code I've ever made in python doesn't work and I don't know why. Please can you help me solve the issue.
Code:

age = 10;
if age < 9:
    print("Hey! ")
    print("Welcome to play with us")
else
    print("You're too old for this gang!")

Error code: 

Error:
>>> %Run test.py
  File "C:\Users\vikto\Desktop\test.py", line 5
    else
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


>>>

I'm not sure where you saw "%Run" and thought it would work.

It looks like you were in a command prompt and typed "python" to get the >>>. Instead, go back to that and type "python your_script_name.py". I recommend not using test.py as a name, for reasons that I don't want to overwhelm you with as a brand-new programmer.

I used Thonny to write and run the code. But do you have to solution to my problem?

Apologies, I misread the original problem.

You need a colon after "else"

Thanks!

In Python there is no ';' after a statement. Only if you do it on on line:

a = 2; b = 3; c = 'four'

Or may be I am wrong. Just tried it. Hm! :D

try this code :) 

age = 10 ## no need ; 
if age < 9:
    print("Hey! ")
    print("Welcome to play with us")
else: ## need :
    print("You're too old for this gang!")
