from Question import Question

question_promts = [
	"What color are apples?\n(a) Red/Green\n(b) Purple\n(c) Orange\n\n",
	"What color are Bananas?\n(a) Teal\n(b) Magenta\n(c) Yellow\n\n" ,
	"What color are strawberries?\n(a) Yellow\n(b) Red\n(c) Blue\n\n"
]

questions = [
	Question(question_prompts[0],"a" ),
	Question(question_prompts[1],"c" ),
	Question(question_prompts[2],"b" ),
]

def run_test(questions):
	score = 0
	for question in questions
		answer = input(question.prompt)
		if answer == question.answer:
			score += 1
	print("You got " + str(score) + "/" + str(len(questions)) + "correct")
	
	run_test(questions)

However it keeps telling me that I have a syntax error on line 17 when I run the program.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/data/user/0/ru.iiec.pyroid3/files/accomp_files/iiec_run/iiec_run.py", line 31, in <module>
start(fakepyfile.mainpyfile)

exec(open(mainpyfile).read().   __main__.__dict__)
File "<string>", line 17
for question in questions
                        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[Program finished]

I looks like a colon is missing at the end of the line...

I tried colon and I still receive the same syntax error only with a colon typed in

You need the colon. I ran it and you don't get the same error with it.

I deleted both files and decided to re-do the whole program , the good news is that Process finished with exit code 0 however nothing prints in the the terminal so the user cannot input naswers to the questions . This is what I have now.

I noticed the error was fixed when my first attempt

class Question:
    def__init__(self, prompt, answer):

and second attempt

    def __init__(self, prompt, answer):
        self.prompt = prompt

I forgot to put a space between def and __init which was breaking the program . Again thank you all for helping I am learning this on my own and appreciate the input from everyone

On line 23 questions is not defined. Is line 9 supposed to be questions instead of question?

I still get the same end result after the change ichabod801

You're also missing a colon at the end of line 19. It would really help if you would post the full text of the error messages you are getting.

im not getting any prompts to answer the question

When I run your code with the fixes I have mentioned, it works.
