hello,
I keep getting a syntax error. Could you please explain why that happens and
how to correct it.
def main ():
print( "Welcome to Gonzo Burger!")
order= int(input("Enter 1 if you want a hamburger,\
or 2 if you want a cheeseburger:" ))
if order == 1 :
print("order: 1")
else:
print("Order: 2")
drink=int(input("Thank you! Next, enter a 1 if you want a Coke,\
or a 2 if you want a Sprite:")
if drink == 1 :
The line before this one has a missing right paren at the end. you
close the input() function, but not the int() function. So the next
thing would have to be a comma, not a reserved token "if"
print("Order: 1")
else:
print("Order: 2")
print("Thank you! You ordered:")
if order == 1:
print("- Hamburger")
else:
print("- Cheeseburger")
if drink == 1 :
print("- Coke")
else:
print("- Sprite")
main ()

p.s: the error happens in the second if statement.
That's a good hint. Better would be to include the full traceback with
the error message, instead of a one-word summary. No matter in this
caswe, but it's a good habit to get into.
Incidentally, for syntax errors, it's pretty common for the real problem
to be in the line before, or even earlier. I'd assume this error
pointed at the 'if'. So you're really only going back one token.
