Question

I downloaded python from the course site and I am using Windows 8. When I go to use python and not IDLE I am not able to move the script from python to IDLE. For example when I put print type (3) into python it does not appear in the shell as it did in the lecture example. Any ideas on how to fix this? Is it because I am using Windows 8? Thanks for any help :)

Answer 1

Print type (3) is incorrect syntax, it shouldn't have a space between type and the arguments. So it should be
print type(3)
Also, make sure you're using python 2.something, 3.0 and up has the syntax of print(args).
