I would love a little help here. I only get the initial response of "Hey bud. What's your name?" anything I type in gives me a syntax error...
friendName = input("Hey bud. What's your name?")
eyeColor = input("What color are your eyes, " + friendName)
hairColor = input("What color is your hair?")
friendAge = input("Awesome! Mine too. How old are you?")
# Let's see when this chap was born...
int_friendAge = int(friendAge)
int_yearBorn = 2019 - (int_friendAge)
yearBorn = str(int_yearBorn)
print("That means you were born in " + yearBorn)Thx,
Billy
You should add one more single quotation mark after
What
Output:
from: friendName = input("Hey bud. What's your name?")
to: friendName = input("Hey bud. What''s your name?")
Besides, be minded to use tags when you post your future codes.
Cheers
What does this mean
Quote:anything I type in gives me a syntax error
Runs fine for me. What version of Python are you using?

Be careful, the solution has been found, as I wrote before (
lack of one single quotation mark)
A single quote is ok when wrapped inside double quotes.
If it was wrapped in single quotes then a two single quotes would be needed.

Not always true, get a glance underneath.

@
samsonite, your example is about totally different problem, not related to single/double quotes

@bh32832, post the full traceback as advised by Yoriz
@ buran. You are right. Cheers
(Mar-18-2019, 11:17 AM)samsonite Wrote: [ -> ]Simply that Python2 doesn't accept the single quotation mark, as I've said. By adding one more mark, Python2 works properly. Easy to verify, try it!
Well, it's really easy to show that it works with a single quote and NOT work with double single quotes when you pass something taht input will consider variable name:
Python 2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 17:58:13)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> your_name = input("What''s your name?")
What''s your name?Billy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'Billy' is not defined
>>> your_name = input("What's your name?")
What's your name?1
>>> your_name
1
>>> your_name = input("What's your name?")
What's your name?[1, 2, 3]
>>> your_name
[1, 2, 3]
>>>
Summarizing your report,
buran
Output:
In Python2 there are raw_input() and input().
In Python3 there is no raw_input(), just input().
Thank you
