syntax error near unexpected token
#1
Hello! ultra noobie with all things programming and I am currently registered in an online python course. During the tutorials I got stuck when I was prompted to enter a line:

name="BRADY H".lower()
This happens in only Visual Studio Code

It is supposed to be an example of the various python functions you can use but when I use this or .upper() or .replace() or any of the other tutorial functions I keep getting the error

Error:
bash:syntax error near unexpected token `('
Also I have tried:

my_book="My favorite book is 'Tod Sawyer',".replace('Tod', 'Tom')
print(my_book)
but get the same error...
This happens in both the editor (Visual Studio Code) and the shell/terminal on my computer. Please help as I am eager to learn but feel I can't even get started!
