Question

File "python", line 2
SyntaxError: can't assign to literal
Oops, try again.
Make sure that you define the variable 'my_int'.

#Set the variables to the values listed in the instructions!
"my_int" = 7
"my_float" = 1.23
"my_bool" = True

Dafaq am I doing wrong? I even tried "my_bool" without "

Answer 1

You can't assign a string as a passive parameter like that. Just make it not a string.

Answer 2

hmm? @TuringTest

Answer 3

"my_int" = 7 s/b my_int = 7

Other 2, the same.

Answer 4

@estudier I did that, it wont work.. I have alot of back knowledge on Python and other languages.. I cant seem to figure out why this is not working!

Answer 5

@Dumboy

Answer 6

I have to go but can you try to find out what's wrong. It's section one, can you do me a favor, go back and see what you wrote. I'll check here when I get back.

Answer 7

there is no doubt that if you put

my_int = 7
my_float = 1.23
my_bool = True

#then print it out

print my_int, my_float, my_bool

you will see that it binds those values to those variables
the only thing I can suggest is that you recheck your numbers, otherwise you are missing information, or the test is wrong.

Answer 8

omg @TuringTest NOTHING WILL WORK LMAO

Can you go to the '' data types '' mini section to see if it will work? on Academy

Answer 9

is this code academy?
I'm not in code academy

Answer 10

here's the proof it works though

Answer 11

Set the name of ALL variables without quotes.

Answer 12

You should make sure that your variables do not have quotes around them, as it is a string.
You cannot assign strings values, just like you cannot assign integers and floats values.
my_int= 7
my_float= 1.23
my_bool= True

Answer 13

...and now everyone is repeating themselves. Click the link that I posted and run the program, you can see it works!

Answer 14

haha yeah I know it works. Python isn't that sensitive I think this is code academy possibly.

Answer 15

@TuringTest

Answer 16

Anyone using Code Acadamy that can help me?

Answer 17

It must be, so I guess I'm out since I'm not using Code Academy
good luck!

Answer 18

From past experience with Code Academy, be prepared for unexpected responses to unexpected input. This can vary from exercise to exercise, based on randomness introduced in their inline interpreter. If it works in your Python setup but not Code Academy, find a way to move past it.

Answer 19

You made a simple but common mistake:
#Set the variables to the values listed in the instructions!
"my_int" = 7
"my_float" = 1.23
"my_bool" = True
Those quotes " " messed it up. Python thinks its a string!
Simple change your code to this, and Monty Python will like you! :)
my_int = 7
my_float = 1.23
my_bool = True
Good Luck!

Answer 20

hahaha im sry but just had to comment it....: ppl do not know how to read rly-.-.....you have been all repeating the same thing that @TuringTest said and that @AcidRaln already said it wont work ....seriously learn to read before posting.....

Answer 21

@Microbot: If it works for everybody else (me too -- I tried) there is possibly something wrong with your setup.
Please post OS & Version, Python version, IDLE version.

Answer 22

@miker i think u missread what I wrote.what I said is that everyone keep saying its the double quotes...that turing already said.means ppl do not read previous answers.and I just added that acid already even gave him a response on that,by saying it wouldn't work for him.
