Python tutorial for beginners

Thank you
Below is the C2F conversion calculator, keep in mind it is only 4 lines long.

def C2F():
Celsius = input('Enter degrees in Celsius: ');
Fahrenheit = (9.0 / 5.0) * Celsius +32;
print Celsius, 'Celsius =', Fahrenheit, 'Fahrenheit';

On the 'print Celsius' line, the 'print' turned purple, and when I tried to run it, it said Syntax Error, and highlighted the Celsius part of the text. I'm using version 3.2.2

@TheBrokenVampire2 Python 3.x handles print statements differently. You need to put everything you want to print in parentheses. So it would be:

Print (Celsius, 'Celsius =', Fahrenheit, 'Fahrenheit');

@Stormrage32 Figured it out! indenting is very important!

@TheBrokenVampire2 Is it UNIX (Linux or Ubuntu) based? If so then the console commands will be the same. So if you figure it out, please tell me!

Thanks!

@TheBrokenVampire2

in version 3.2.2, they want you to place the variable in brackets. Therefore, you'd type

print(Celcius) instead of just print Celsius. One of the small changes of 3.2.2 :D

@pos6666666 I fixed it by typing in "Celsius. print" without the quotation marks, though when I open up the shell it doesn't do anything.

@Stormrage32 No, I'm not on a Mac. Just a normal laptop.

@TheBrokenVampire2 I get the same thing on 2.7.2 version as well. I typed it all out and tried to copy and paste, still got the same thing. Wonder what is wrong?

@TheBrokenVampire2 Same Here! Are you on a mac?
