#Example 2:
n = 32
guess = 0
while guess != (n**3) - 1:
	guess +=1
print("%d is equal to (%d**3)-1",%(guess,n))

Error comes up and places it at the percentage symbol %(guess, n). Can someone explain why or a better way to output variables guess and n?

1. in python3 print is function, not statement
2. line #6 should be

print("%d is equal to (%d**3)-1" %(guess,n))

3. You use so called old-style. better use so called new-style, or in python 3.6+ - the newest f-string

print("{} is equal to ({}**3)-1".format(guess,n))

print(f"{guess} is equal to ({n}**3)-1")
