Question

Im having a problem with the enter your name problem,

my code looks like this
print x = raw_input('Enter your First name')
y = raw_input('Enter your Last name' )
print 'Your name is: ' x+y

its not working =/

Answer 1

you need a comma in the last line after the apostrophe - it needs to be:
print 'Your name is:', x+y

Answer 2

Would this program print x before you input the last name?

Answer 3

you don't need to put, print x = raw_input('Enter your First name'), cuz is a input command, that line should give you a syntax error, and try to make it look better like:
x = raw_input('Enter your First name: ')
y = raw_input('Enter your Last name: ' )
And in the print you should have put the "," instead of "+" cuz it will joing name and lastname, the "," gives you a space.
print 'Your name is:', x, y

Answer 4

Im doing a similar problem. (Birthday and Last Name).
My code looks like this:
>>>x=raw_input('Birthday')
Birthday 01/01/2000
>>>y=raw_input('Last Name')
Last Name Doe
>>>print y,x
Doe 01/01/2000
>>>
When I try to run it I also get a syntax error.

Answer 6

What the console replied.

Answer 7

//This is my code, It looks kind of complicated. I didn't think about using "X and Y"
// My answer looks like ('Doe', '3/14/85')
// I want to know why it put parentheses and commas. I just want it to print out the last name and date of birth

question = "Enter your date of birth:"
print (question)
answer = raw_input()

question = "Enter your last name:"
print (question)
response = raw_input()

print (response, answer)

Answer 8

It's because the code has print with parentheses. Try instead:
print response, answer
for your last line of code.

I think this is a Python 2 vs. 3 thing. Here's a more thorough explanation that I found:

Answer 9

You don't need the first print statement. It could look like this
user_birthday = raw_input('Enter your date of birth: ')
It will prompt without the print command.
