Getting an error while using input function

[dcsethia]

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

color = input("enter a color: ") plural_noun = input("Enter a plural noun : ") celebrity = input("Enter a celebrity: ")   print("roses are {color}") print("{plural_noun) are blue") print("i love {celebrity}")

This is the traceback i get

Error:
/Users/dharamchandsethia/PycharmProjects/Volatility/venv/bin/python /Users/dharamchandsethia/PycharmProjects/Volatility/Test.py
enter a color: red
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/dharamchandsethia/PycharmProjects/Volatility/Test.py", line 1, in <module>
    color = input("enter a color: ")
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'red' is not defined

Do i need to define the variable color before or i can ask for user input.

Please use tags when posting code.
You are missing a curly bracket on your 2nd print
If your going to use curly you need to put an f (format string) in your print function

1	print(f"{myvar}")

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

color = input("enter a color: ") plural_noun = input("Enter a plural noun : ") celebrity = input("Enter a celebrity: ")   print("roses are {color}") print("{plural_noun) are blue") print("i love {celebrity}")

The curly code is there in print statement and putting the curly code in front of '{' creates error.

Thanks for your reply

you need it to be f0string, e.g.

1	print(f"roses are {color}")

note the f in front of the string

also, regarding the error in first post - read https://python-forum.io/Thread-Python3-2...-raw-input
you are using python2. use python3. On linux python command is associated with python2, use python3 instead.

finally there is mismatch in brackets:{plural_noun)

1 2 3

color = input("enter a color : ")   print(f"roses are {color}")

tried just with these 2 lines - not working.

not working isn't helpful. Do you get a traceback? Do you use python3 as already advised? what version of python3 - f-strings were introduced in 3.6....
