When I tried the codes from the end of Lecture about iteration, my Python 2.7 always can't identify the print command on the last line. Syntax error is always raised for print. I guess the system recognize the print itself as a variable. How can I resolve this?
y = 0
x = 3
itersLeft = x
while(itersLeft0):
y = y + x
itersLeft=itersLeft-1
print y

y = 0 
x = 3 
itersLeft = x 
while(itersLeft>0):   
    y = y + x 
    itersLeft=itersLeft-1
print y

hey i believe value of y is 9

Yes the answer is 9. As it looks as if you were running this interactively you probably should have hit return again before you typed 'print y'. The code runs ok then.  Hope this helps.
