Issue with my python code

Question

anwser=str(input("Do you need a new phone? "))

if answer== "no":   
    print ("You are now finished. ")
else:    
    question1=str(input("Do you know what phone you want? ")
    if question1== "no":
        print("Research different phones and chose which pne you like best.")
    else:
        question2=str(input("Do you want to go on a contract? ")
        if question2== "no": 
             question3=str(input("Do you have enought money to pay full price for your phone? ")

What is wrong? How do I improve? It keeps coming up with a syntax error and I don not know why.

There are several missing parenthesis. You need foo = str(bar), not foo = str(bar. — Yu Hao

What does the syntax error tell you? Also, you should specify what version of Python, since syntax is slightly different between 2 and 3. — Keith

You're missing closing parentheses on your question lines:

question1 = str(input("Do you know what phone you want? ")

Should be:

question1 = str(input("Do you know what phone you want? "))

You also don't need to convert the input to a string, because input() already does that for you:

input([prompt])
If the prompt argument is present, it is written to standard output without a trailing newline. The function then reads a line from input, converts it to a string (stripping a trailing newline), and returns that.
