[Python] What am I doing wrong? - par†ian - 03-18-2013

Hey guys, I need some help so I came to the best Smile

I am currently doing an online course for Python (reccomended) and I am stuck on this question,
I tried everything, I may be missing something but anyways

Here is the question:
For now, replace the ___s with the form of % you need to complete your quest: %s inside the string, and % to link the string with its arguments. Answer the questions in the console as they pop up!

Default code:

Code:
name = raw_input("What is your name?")
quest = raw_input("What is your quest?")
color = raw_input("What is your favorite color?")

print "Ah, so your name is ___, your quest is ___, " \
"and your favorite color is ___." ___ (name, quest, color)

Here is what my answer is:

Code:
name = raw_input("What is your name?")
quest = raw_input("What is your quest?")
color = raw_input("What is your favorite color?")

print "Ah, so your name is "%s" % (name), your quest is, 
print "%s" % (quest), and your favorite color is, 
print "%s" % (color)." print "%s" % ("name", "quest", "color")

Correct code.ask what you dont understand.

Quote:name = raw_input("What is your name?")
quest = raw_input("What is your quest?")
color = raw_input("What is your favorite color?")

print "Ah, so your name is %s, your quest is %s",\
"and your favorite color is %s" %(name, quest, color)

I've edited your code:

Code:
name = input("What is your name?")
quest = input("What is your quest?")
color = input("What is your favorite color?")

print ('Ah, so your name is %s, your quest is  %s, and your favorite color is %s' % (name, quest, color))

Mistakes:
1) You should have done (name, quest, color) instead of this ("name", "quest", "color") because they have the stored values and you are making them separate strings.
2) Use %s and % like this:

Code:
name = input('Your Name: ')
print('My name is %s' % (name)')

thats because the above code is for python 3.x and you are using python 2.7

Could you possibly fix it for me Biggrin

I used the edited code above:

Code:
name = input("What is your name?")
quest = input("What is your quest?")
color = input("What is your favorite color?")

print ('Ah, so your name is %s, your quest is  %s, and your favorite color is %s' % (name, quest, color))

but it's still giving me the same message.

Code:
What is your name?>

i am talking about this one.

Quote:name = raw_input("What is your name?")
quest = raw_input("What is your quest?")
color = raw_input("What is your favorite color?")

print "Ah, so your name is %s, your quest is %s",\
"and your favorite color is %s" %(name, quest, color)
