I don't know Python, however I easily found a site that accepts Python source and compiles&executes it, so I learned a lot in a matter of minutes. Thank you for that.

In the 6 lines of code shown you have several mistakes, including:

1. your variables don't have a value
2. conditional lines require indentation (maybe that was OK when you pasted your code and CodeProject swallowed them, maybe not)
3. your else should be elif (or just else: without an expression)

Would you consider reading a book (or e-book) on Python and learn something? if you don't master the basics you won't get nowhere soon.

:)

Solution 2

Indentation in python is important, and it often confuses beginners.
Start by looking at this: Hello I have a syntax error is the program can someone help me to solve it thank[^] and read my reply - it's fairly long, but he had the same problem you do, and the solution is the same!
