SyntaxError: invalid syntax

really don't understand why i'm getting an error here as earlier in the code I did the same thing (with different variables). It even does it for the Delta part (hence why I put it as a comment to try an debug)

A parenthese is missing on the line

C[j] = (0.01/(y[j]**2)

should be

C[j] = (0.01/(y[j]**2))

But please format youe code with tags in the future

oh god sorry I'm sorry i'm new here, I'll try to work out how to do it next time

This is a very common thing you'll see, btw. If there's a SyntaxError, but the line it's complaining about looks fine, then the issue is almost always a missing parenthesis on the previous line.
