Is this for Python 3.x or 2.x? It makes a big difference in what input() means. I'm guessing 2.x from the rest of the script, so what you probably want is raw_input, not input unless you really want them to type Python source there which is interpreted as a list of values or whatever. I'm not sure what you want to accomplish with str() and list(), though. Those create a string, and then a list, but you never assign the new string or list to anything. Neither actually changes the wording variable. Remember that the comma separating items in the print statement is a syntactic feature of the language. You have them inside the strings you're printing. -- Elegbede Muhammed Oladipupo OCA +2348077682428 +2347042171716 www.dudupay.com http://www.dudupay.com Mobile Banking Solutions | Transaction Processing | Enterprise Application Development ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Dipo Elegbede delegb...@dudupay.com wrote please tell me what is wrong with the syntax as written herein: http://pastebin.com/BkLi0A4H Please post full error reports as well as the code. It helps a lot! You code has numerous errrs in it but the syntax errors are in the print statements. You need to separate the arguments to print with commas. Also for the function to do anything you need to call it. I am actually trying to let a user input something and have the input returned in a reverse form and also see the lenght of the input. I also think your call to list and reversed is the wrong way round. It should be: reversed(list(wording)) I see Steve has already picked up most of the other mistakes. -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

in the header of for loop, you don't need to use the - for i in range(10)

its the the part
print('Here are the numbers from 0 to 9')
# for i in the range(10): #your version

Others have already given you the answer, but more important is for you
to learn *how* to get the answer.
Look at the error message Python prints:
for i in the range(10):
File stdin, line 1
for i in the range(10):
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
You get a SyntaxError, which tells you that what you've written makes no
sense to the Python compiler. It also tells you that the error has
nothing to do with either of the print lines.
Unfortunately Python isn't smart enough to recognise that the problem is
with the rather than range(10), but it points you to the correct
line.

thanks Steven. I'll always be mindful of that.
By the way, I need someone to briefly explain to me how the while loop works.
a little on break will also do.

Re: [Tutor] what is wrong with this syntax?
A LITTLE EXPLANATIONS ON CONTINUE WOULD BE APPRECIATED TOO.
in a recap, i would appreciate any brief explanation on
1. break
2. continue
3. while loop
how they work and application in writing codes.
thank you all.

Your tutorial should do that but you can also look at the Loops section of my tutorial - use the V3 version - for a discussion of while loops. It does not cover break/continue because they are not really necessary to write programs, simply convenience features so I don't cover them till much later. -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Unfortunately Python isn't smart enough to recognise that the problem is
with the rather than range(10), but it points you to the correct

And logically, if the error is not at the pointed word/line, it will be just
before.
This means that when analysing your code, python passed on the real error
cause, because of a possible ambiguity; but then the rest makes no sense, so it
stops and points where it got blocked, immediately after the error.
In the code above, the could be a name you gave to a list, for instance;
since an expression starting like for i in listName is correct, Python cannot
stop on the... but then the rest of the line makes no more sense for it.
(Fortunately, python 3.2, planned for April 1, 2011, will be informed that
the is an english article. This is possible since there is no ambiguity with
thé (fr), thank to Python's clever diacritic-awareness. Only remains then the
problematic case of a.)
