So I keep trying to find the syntax error here in ex4, but I still cannot pinpoint exactly what it is because I typed out everything that Zed said. Can someone look at it and tell me what needs to be fixed based off of what you see?
Hello @evancruz1
When mixing a string and variables in a print function you can do this:
print( "we need to put about %d in each car" % (average_passenger_per_car,)
or
print( "we need to put about {} in each car" .format(average_passenger_per_car)
or the newest way that requires pythot3.6 or higher
print(f" we need to put about {average_passenger_per_car} in_each_car")It is always easier if we can see all of the code if you need help.
Copy and paste your code like this:
[code]
#here you paste in your code.
def my_first_function():
print("Eureka! it works")
[/code]

Hello @evancruz1,
Or another method is how Zed wrote in the book in ex4. You misplaced the first comma, which should be out of the first quotes:
print("We need to put about", average_passengers_per_car, "in each car.")

Hello @puskini (eagle eye

I missed that one.
And I did not think about that way of printing out also works.
So now I know about four ways to print.
I wonder which is best to use? Perhaps one can choose a favourite and stick to it as long as it works with the version of Python?
Hi @ulfen69,
Thank you also for the 3 other ways! I have already written them down (it is nice to have them all in one place).
Yes, I think it is a matter of preference, of the version of Python that you use, and of the trend in the Python community.
Got it puskini; thank you.
