I am an absolute beginner in python and i have an error in my code. am doing it using python terminal. I know it may be simple but as am new i cant figure it out. My code is :
num = input("Enter a number: ") ;\
... mod = num % 2 ;\
... if mod > 0:
and the error is :
File "<stdin>", line 3
if mod > 0:
^
That is because you are required to send an input to the input function on the next line. Also, with Python 3 input, you need to convert the input to numeric data type. Do something like this.
num = int(input("Enter a number: "))
5
mod = num % 2
if mod > 0:
print(mod)
int or float function. Secondly, since you are asking for an input, you need to provide that input to python to further the programWhen you take input in Python, it is stored as a string. This means this:
mod = num % 2
Is like doing this:
mod = "5" % 2
Which you can't do. You should add a line before the modulo operation, converting the string to an integer. Also, you have to give input to the console after the input() function. I'm not able to see if you have written any more code, but if you haven't, you also need to add the code that would be executed under the if statement, or you'll get a SyntaxError.
