Subject: [Tutor] using quotes in IDLE
A really dumb question...
When typing things into IDLE, how are quotes meant to work?
If I type"
employee.name = "Susan"
then IDLE ignores the last " and I get an error.
-------------------------------------------------------
When pasting you code into IDLE i get this:
>>> employee.name = "Susan"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
employee.name = "Susan"
NameError: name 'employee' is not defined
which is the result of me not having a class called employee, do you have
that?
If not, you can't use dots in variable names so in stead of 'employee.name'
you could use employeeName or employee_name
fx
>>> employee_name = "susan"
>>> print employee_name
susan
