I keep getting a Syntax error when I type:
def someFunction(a, b):
print(a+b)
someFunction(12, 451)
then it says:
File"<stdin>", line 3
someFunction()
Syntax Error
I really appreciate any guidance! Thank you so much! (I am using Python 2.7.5)
If I had to guess, you are in the Python interpreter and wrote this:
>>> def someFunction(a, b):
... print(a+b)
... someFunction(12, 451)
File "<stdin>", line 3
someFunction(12, 451)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>
You need to put one more newline after the print line:
>>> def someFunction(a, b):
... print(a+b)
...
>>> someFunction(12, 451)
463
>>>
In the interactive interpreter, you need one more newline after a block.
Only put new expressions or statements on the next >>> prompt:
>>> def someFunction(a, b):
... print(a+b)
...
>>> someFunction(12, 451)
463
Here, I hit ENTER on the empty ... line to 'close' the function.
