Question

I am trying python and get stuck at syntax. Anyone helps me, please

Answer 1

def the_flying_circus(answer):
if answer<5:
return True
elif answer>5:
return False
else:
return 0
print the_flying_circus(4)
and they said "Oops, try again. Make sure to use at least one boolean operator! "
I feel like an idiot when everybody can do but me.

Answer 2

try ans=the_flying_circus(4)
print ans

Your function works fine when I try running it in the python translator on codeacademy. Just slide the last print statement to the beginning rather than indenting it.

Answer 30

python is very particular on indent if you write something in the indent you are saying this is still part of the function

Answer 31

this is the previous lecture, and I passed it, the problem I got stuck is review
def greater_less_equal_5(answer):
if answer>5:
return 1
elif answer<5 :
return -1
else:
return 0

print greater_less_equal_5(4)
print greater_less_equal_5(5)
print greater_less_equal_5(6)

Answer 32

okay is there something still wrong with your code?

Answer 33

elif a>=5:
return False
else:
return 0
print the_flying_circus(5)
print the_flying_circus(7)

Answer 34

Answer 35

def the_flying_circus(a):
if a<5:
return True
elif a>5:
return False
else:
return 0
print the_flying_circus(5)
print the_flying_circus(7)

Answer 36

try this

Answer 37

I did, still not work

Answer 38

i dont know the specification of your program but
if you have a>=5 then the return 0 for else is redundant for all integer inputs

Answer 39

def the_flying_circus(a):
if a<5:
return True
elif a>=5:
return False
else:
return 0
print the_flying_circus(5)
print the_flying_circus(7)

Answer 40

no you cannot put print like that

Answer 41

remove the indent

Answer 42

Oops, try again. Your indentation looks a bit off. Check the Hint if you need help!

if a<5:
return True
elif a>=5:
return False
else:
return 0
(no space here)print the_flying_circus(5)
print the_flying_circus(7)

Answer 44

File "python", line 4
elif a>=5:
^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

Answer 45

def the_flying_circus(a):
if a<5:
return True
elif a>5:
return False
else:
return 0

print the_flying_circus(5)
print the_flying_circus(7)
