Question

Hi. I have just started this course and have no prior knowledge of programming. Can someone please help me with the first assignment. I get up to the point where it prints the date of birth and Last name, but I don't know how to continue so that it prints the surname and date of birth (in this order). I would seriously appreciate help!

Answer 1

hello @JuanitaV

please can u paste your code till now so i can help u resolve it ? and hint you on it. :)

You can use sites like www.pastebin.com to paste your code in a link.

Answer 2

Which code are you talking about? I am doing the MIT 6.00 online course.

Answer 3

the one of your assignment ...since if i dont see what you have done till now i cant help you:)
i know what course you are taking cause i did it also.

Answer 4

I can't see a code anywhere. I haven't submitted anything yet. This is the first assignment that I need to submit. I read through the assignement, but there is no code there. Must I register/apply for a code somewhere?

Answer 5

Thank you, I appreciate the advise MicroBot!

Answer 7

The code he was talking about was the program you wrote. People tend to call "programming" "coding", as in writing computer code.
Just a guess, but you probably havent assigned your raw_input's to any variables. if you assigned your raw_input's to some variables, you could print the varables in the order you need them. :) for exampe:
name = raw_input("What is your last name? ")
dob = raw_input("what is your date of birth? ")
print name +' '+ dob

Answer 8

Thank you, Brenn! Now it makes sense! I was looking for a code like some CB93283M or something! Oh, I only realise NOW how absolutely little I know and how MUCH I still have to learn. I am determined, though and I am going to try my best to make a sucess of this course! I appreciate your answer.

Answer 9

My pleasure. Stick with it, you'll get there.

Answer 10

Thank you for the encouragement, I appreciate it! I'll surely ask you some questions again in future :)
