rannumexe = int(input())
if rannumexe = 1:
print('hi' + rannumexe)
Step 1
We show what each line does using comments.
rannumexe = int(input()) # Asks the user to input a rannumexe
if rannumexe = 1: # If the rannumexe equals 1
print('hi' + rannumexe) # Print hi and the rannumexe
Step 2
We want the code to input a number, and if the number is one, print "hi" and the number.
Our problem is that we have an invalid syntax error on line 2 in the main.py file.
File "main.py", line 2
if rannumexe = 1:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
We can change "rannumexe" to "number" to clear confusion
number = int(input()) # Asks the user to input a number
if number = 1: # If the number equals 1
print('hi' + number) # Print hi and the number
Step 5
We don't have any typos
Step 6
Our problem could be that we improperly used the if statement
Step 7
The problem could be about using the if statement incorrectly
Step 8
Our final question:
Title:
Invalid syntax error about equal signs
Content:
I have an invalid syntax error on line 2 in the main.py file of this repl. The program should take a number as an input, check if the number is equal to one, and if so, print "hi" and the number. The error point to the equal signs and I think this issue is with the incorrect syntax of the if statement. Help is appreciated :).
