Question

I am working through the wikibooks page included with the first lecture, and to get the feel for the program I am simply entering the exact text of some of the simple programs into my python to see if I can get the program to do what the code should prompt it to. So I saved the file and opened it in a new python page but it says i have a syntax error. I don't believe I do.

question = "What did you have for dinner?"
print question
What did you have for dinner?
answer = raw_input()
"You had" + answer + "! That sounds delicious!"

Why can't I run this program?

Answer 1

Try this

question = "What did you have for dinner?"
print question
#What did you have for dinner?
answer = raw_input()
print "You had " + answer + "! That sounds delicious!"
