Hi, I have just started learning to program and I am using Python 3. I am learning from a book "Python in Easy Steps" by Mike McGrath all was going well until I reached chapter 2 perfroming operations on page 27 doing Arithmetic it asks you to enter the following code:
SyntaxError: encoding problem: ascii
or it comes up with a UTF-8 error out of range 128
How do I get the priogram to print the obelus division sign?
I have tried reading about Unicode but there are so many pages about this and non of the ideas appear to be working!
How do I print the extended ASCII code set characters in Python 3?
Please help, I am as confused as hell!
Many thanks
Frank
