Invalid Python Syntax Define Function

Question

Satchel = {'rope': 1, 'torch': 6, 'gold coin': 42, 'dagger': 1}
def displayInventory(inventory, leftWidth, rightWidth):
    print('INVENTORY'.center(leftWidth + rightWidth, '-'))
    for k, v in inventory.items():
        print(k.ljust(leftWidth, '.') + str(v).rjust(rightWidth))
        item_total = int(item_total) + int(v)
        print('Total number of items: ' + str(item_total)

displayInventory(Satchel, 15, 6)

I receive a syntax error when I call the displayInventory function. I am having trouble determining what is wrong with this code.

What's the exact error?

Please proofread your code more carefully in the future.

The last call to print in your function is missing a closing parenthesis. In addition, in the code you are showing you are using the name item_total before defining it.

In general: if you get a weird syntax error - look at the previous line.
