Unknown Syntax Error

[AlwaysNew]

I dont know why the first line [FIRSTNAME] is a syntax error when I run the program. Screenshot link below code.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

#Password Checker import random FIRSTNAME = input("Please enter your first name.\n") SURNAME = input("Please enter your second name.\n") RANUM = random.randint(10,99) USERNAME = FIRSTNAME[0] + SURNAME[0:4] + str(RANUM) print ("Your user name is", USERNAME) PASSWORD = input("Please enter a Password.\n") USERNAMECHECK = input("Please re-enter the username to log on.\n") if USERNAME.lower() != USERNAMECHECK.lower():     USERNAMECHECK = input("Please re-enter the username, it is incorrect:\n") PASSWORDCHECK = input("Please re-enter the password to log on.\n") if PASSWORD.lower() != PASSWORDCHECK.lower():     PASSWORDCHECK = input("Please re-enter the password, it is incorrect:\n")

I'm not getting a syntax error with that code. How are you running it? Is there any other code you're not showing us?

Here is the full code (not finished) I dont think anything else has reliance to the code. I am using win7 with 64 bit python 3.52 idle
 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31

import random   #Subrounteens def menu():     CHOICE = int(input("Welcome,\n [1] English Questions \n [2] Math Questions \n [3] ICT Questions \n [4] Quit/Exit \nPlease enter your choice:\n")   #Password Checker   FIRSTNAME = input("Please enter your first name.\n") SURNAME = input("Please enter your second name.\n") RANUM = random.randint(10,99) USERNAME = FIRSTNAME[0] + SURNAME[0:4] + str(RANUM) print ("Your user name is", USERNAME) PASSWORD = input("Please enter a Password.\n") USERNAMECHECK = input("Please re-enter the username to log on.\n") if USERNAME.lower() != USERNAMECHECK.lower():     USERNAMECHECK = input("Please re-enter the username, it is incorrect:\n") PASSWORDCHECK = input("Please re-enter the password to log on.\n") if PASSWORD.lower() != PASSWORDCHECK.lower():     PASSWORDCHECK = input("Please re-enter the password, it is incorrect:\n")       #Menu #print ("Correct!\nAcessing menu")                    menu()                        if choice == '1':         print ("English Questions Selected")         Q1 = input("Q1: Who is Macbeth's Wife?\n")         Q2 = input("Q2: Who was the old king of Scotland?\n")         print (Q1.lower,Q2.lower)

I fixed the syntax issue by using a print and variable instead of making them in one for a subroutine is there any way I could do it in one line? 

1 2 3 4

#Subrounteens def menu():     print("Welcome,\n [1] English Questions \n [2] Math Questions \n [3] ICT Questions \n [4] Quit/Exit \nPlease enter your choice:\n")     choice = int(input())

You're missing a close parentheses at the end of line five.

When you get a syntax error that you don't understand, always check the previous line of code and make sure everything is closed off properly.

Thanks, Stupid mistake.

[ichabod801]

If it's a stupid mistake, then we're all stupid. The reason I was able to ask the right questions to identify the error is that I make that same mistake all the time.

Yeh it just really annoys me, but the program is finished now so its all over :).


now onto the next project.
