Newbie help with input

[Malt]

I just started into Python today and got a lot working in a few hours. But this has me stumped. I copy and paste (no typos) these two lines from a Python help site into the Terminal:

val = input("Enter your value: ") print(val) 

and the result is:

Error:
>>> val = input("Enter your value: ") Enter your value: print(val) my input Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "<string>", line 1 print(val) my input ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The print(val) line runs into the input line. I typed "My input". It all just runs together. Thanks in advance to anyone who can tell me what's wrong here. Thanks.

I'm just curious to know which Python version you are using
