idk what to do guys

[spiral ocean]

You forgot a +

[lyric smelt]

where, why it showing (") as the problem

idk coding, i started like yesterday

[dusk silo]

It's a completely valid Python program. Maybe save it and restart IDLE or use a better IDE

[spiral ocean]

it's not, that's what you highlighted

[spiral ocean]

no it isn't

[dusk silo]

That's not how it works

[dusk silo]

It is though

[lyric smelt]

i dont understand a word for gods sake 🥹

[spiral ocean]

no, they missed a + in the print

[dusk silo]

!e

name = "Mohamed"
age = "13"
score = 99.3
engineer = False

print("my name is " + name + " and my age is " + age)

[blazing galleon]

:white_check_mark: Your 3.13 eval job has completed with return code 0.

my name is Mohamed and my age is 13

[lyric smelt]

yeah um, just highlight where, have screenshot

[spiral ocean]

you did not copy correctly

[spiral ocean]

in the print, there is one of the +s missing

[dusk silo]

Oh my bad you are right

[lyric smelt]

ohhhhh

[dusk silo]

Why is it highlighting in the beginning though 😭

[spiral ocean]

that is what they have highlighted with their cursor

like I said

[lyric smelt]

the fact it highlighted the (") is misleading

[spiral ocean]

it didn't

you did

[lyric smelt]

ok

[spiral ocean]

maybe I'm wrong

[lyric smelt]

still no quit python

[spiral ocean]

maybe I ate too much pizza and am in a food coma

[dusk silo]

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure IDLE highlights where the error is

Supposed to

[lyric smelt]

dont kick the bucket bro

[spiral ocean]

what does that mean?

[spiral ocean]

perhaps

I was tryna modify my python install to get idle, but no cigar

[lyric smelt]

fast = bad health

bad health = death

see where this is going? srsly i thought yall were genius

[spiral ocean]

?

[lyric smelt]

nvm

[spiral ocean]

ok

[errant quiver]

That is one of my gripes with python, it often doesn’t give the most useful error spans

!e ```py
a = "hello"
print(a "syntax error")

[blazing galleon]

:x: Your 3.13 eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 |   File "/home/main.py", line 2
002 |     print(a "syntax error")
003 |             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
004 | SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[spiral ocean]

yeah if it included the a that would be better maybe
