My first code - Flappo - Mar-02-2017
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!")
if age < 9:
print("Hey! ")
print("Welcome to play with us")
else: ## need :
print("You're too old for this gang!")
