Hi I've just started trying to teach myself Python using one of the "for Dummies" books, I'me using VS Code through Anaconda running Python 3.7. I've attempted to make a Magic 8 Ball Program and I'm showing no errors in my code yet it doesn't run. It says there is a syntax error.
>>> & C:/Users/my user/AppData/Local/Continuum/anaconda3/python.exe "c:/Users/my user/Google Drive/Python/Code Library/Magic 8 Ball.py"
File "<stdin>", line 1
& C:/Users/my users/AppData/Local/Continuum/anaconda3/python.exe "c:/Users/my users/Google Drive/Python/Code Library/Magic 8 Ball.py"
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I'm sure it's something simple and basic, however that is where my knowledge is currently. Any help would be great fully received.
import random question = input("Ask the Magic 8 Ball a Question") answer = random.randint(1,8) if answer == 1: print("Definately") elif answer == 2: print("Looking good") elif answer == 3: print("You can count on it") elif answer == 4: print("Ask me again leter") elif answer == 5: print("I'm not sure you really want ot know") elif answer == 6: print("I wouldn't bet money on it") elif answer == 7: print(" Not a chance") elif answer == 8: print("I've heard that's a no") else: print("That's not a question") print ("The End")This is the response in terminal:
