Currently working on statistics calculator but an error message saying invalid syntax which points at print in the mode section
import statistics
amountOfNumbers = input("How many numbers are you using? ")
usersNumbers = input("What are your numbers? ")
print("Mean: " , statistics.mean(usersNumbers)
print("Mode: " , statistics.mode(usersNumbers))
print("Median: " , statistics.median(usersNumbers))
Error message reads:
File "D:\Luke's Coding stuff\Python\bot1.py", line 5
print("Mode: " , statistics.mode(usersNumbers))
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
the problem is on the line before the problem,you need put this:
print("Mean: " , statistics.mean(usersNumbers))
you forgot the parenthesis, I hope it helps you.
The problem is actually in the line above it, you missed a bracket.
print("Mean: " , statistics.mean(usersNumbers))
The reason it told you there was a syntax error in line 5 is because it expected the code to follow the print function's "value" syntax.
You are missing a closing parentheses after your first print statement.

This is the error message I got:
File "main.py", line 15
while True:
^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level
This is my full code:
import wikipedia
from colorama import Fore, Style, Back
y = input("tell me what you want ")
z = int(input("how many sentences "))
try:
text = wikipedia.summary(y, sentences=z)
print('')
print("---Text---")
print(text)
print("----------")
print(len(text.split()),"words.")
except:
print(Fore.RED + "ERROR)
while True:
print("\a")
Can you please explain why this is happening? I am using the Repl online ide.
The answer to this is that I was mixing up tabs and spaces. You shouldn't use both because this error can happen.
While coding in python, it's super important to pay attention to the way you indent. Of course you can either use tab or space, but always make sure you stick with one of them and not mixing them together.
Seems like you haven't done it this time. Delete the indentations and reindent them. Should work fine.

I am new here learning Python. I have a problem of syntax but I am unable to fix it. Can someone please help ?
Here's the code:
def saisie(the_list)
input_string = input("Enter a list elements separated by space (max 6)\n")
the_list = input_string.split()
if len(the_list) > 6:
return '{}Error'
return '{}Error'
else:
return f'user list: {the_list}'
saisie(liste)
and I got this error :
File "c:/Users/Jay/Desktop/Python Exercices/app/tribulle.py", line 6
def saisie(the_list)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Which is the invalid syntax, what should I change please?
When defining a function, you must put a colon at the end of the "def saisie(the_list)" or else Python will not know that you are defining a function.
You are missing the colon, it should be
def saisie(the_list):

So, I'm trying to make an easter egg in my calculator program, where if you type my friend johns name in, it prints nerd, but I keep getting invalid syntax on the line the if statement starts. here's what the code looks like:
x = input(' ')
if x = John:
print nerd
else:
print x
please keep in mind i'm using python 2.7, not 3. when I googled it, I only got answers that worked in 3.
x = raw_input('enter name ')
if x == 'John':
print 'nerd'
else:
print x
You are doing an assignment, but you need == to check for equality

A problem exists in Python 2.7.11, with the print function:
elif e=="randomize w and x":
random=randint(int(w),int(x))
print random
elif e=="randomize w and y":
random=randint(int(w,int(y))
print random
The boldfaced print shows up as a syntax error, yet all 278 others in my program do not. Why this is, and how I fix it?
The problem is that in
random=randint(int(w,int(y))
a close parenthesis after w is missing, therefore Python thinks the expression continues on next line, but print at that point is a syntax error.
Your problem is not with the print statement, rather the line right before it. The line before hass inbalanced parenthesis:
random=randint(int(w,int(y))
Make sure you balance them out (add an extra ) at the end), and your error on the next line will disappear.

import random
for i in range(1,21):
print("%10d" %(random.randrange(1,7)),
if (i % 5 == 0):
print ("")
What is wrong in this code ?
I know basic python (almost), but i am not able to figure out what could be error in this program.
it is showing this error:
Syntax Error: invalid syntax at line 6 (if statement)
The fourth line is missing bracket .. Thanks all of you
You missed a right bracket )
print("%10d" %(random.randrange(1,7))),
would be correct
You're missing a ) before the last comma on line 4.
Your parenthesis on line 4 don't match. Because you have an unclosed paren, python doesn't report this syntax error until the colon on line 6 (python ignores line breaks as long as you are inside an enclosing set of parenthesis, brackets, or braces).
