syntax error on return statement - l_butler - May-31-2020
The code below is for checking if there is a winner in a game of tic tac toe. I am getting a syntax error on the return line, with "return" being highlighted. Could someone explain to me why?
def winner(board):
for mark in [X,O]:
if board[0][0]==board[0][1]==board[0][2]== mark or board[1][0]==board[1][1]==board[1][2]==mark or \
board[2][0==board[2][1]==board[2][2]== mark or board[0][0]==board[1][0]==board[2][0]== mark or \
board[0][1]==board[1][1]==board[2][1]== mark or board[0][2]==board[1][2]==board[2][2]== mark or \
board[0][0]==board[1][1]==board[2][2]==mark or board [0][2]==board[1][1]==board[2][0]==mark:
return "{} is the winner".format(mark)

Issue solved! missing bracket

What do you mean, missing bracket - return statements don't have brackets, do they?
