Question

Is there a bug in ps4.py? I get a "syntax error" on "print savingsRecord" in testNestEggFixed().

Answer 1

which version of Python are you using?

Answer 2

3.1.3

Answer 3

have you looked at the docs for the print statement?

Answer 4

no. but your question made me double check. i have 3.1.3 and 2.4 on my system. i usually use 2.4. Let me return to 2.4 and see if there's a problem.

Answer 5

lol. 2.4 is much happier with the syntax. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Answer 6

i don't know what they are but apparently there are some subtle differences between 2.x an 3.x that will make the examples/handouts/problems in this course unhappy.

Answer 7

Well in particular, the parameters for open are a bit different, and print is now a function where before it was a statement.
