to IF. The code below was not written by me. It is a copy/paste
job from the tutor. I do not have any idea what is going wrong.
>>> x = int(raw_input("Please enter an integer: "))
Please enter an integer: 42
>>> if x < 0:
... x = 0
... print 'Negative changed to zero'
... elif x == 0:
... print 'Zero'
... elif x == 1:
... print 'Single'
... else:
... print 'More'
...

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
It looks as if you maybe cut more than you intended?
Also I'm not sure about the ... prompts. I don't have 2.6 yet
so maybe its an enhancement to IDLE but notmally IDLE
doesn't print ... prompts. Did you cut n paste them too?
If so that would confuse IDLE.
