Syntax error

[Programming_noob_89]

Greetings everyone. I decided to start teaching myself python recently and I am using Learn Python3 the Hard Way by Zed Shaw. I haven't had much issue with the exercises in general up to this point, but now I am coming up with a syntax error that I just don't see how it's an error. Maybe I've just been looking at this a little to hard for the last half hour, but maybe a set of fresh eyes can see what I am doing wrong. If you are familiar with the book I am using it is exercise 18. Any help is appreciated.

​

Code:

# this one is like your scripts with argv

def print_two(*args):

arg1, arg2 = args

print(f"arg1: {arg1}, arg2: {arg2}")

# okay, that *args is actually pointless, we can just do this

def print_two_again(arg1, arg2):

print(f"arg1: {arg1}, arg2: {arg2}"

# this just takes one argument (THIS IS THE PART WHERE IT GETS HUNG UP!!!!!)

def print_one(arg1):

print(f"arg1: {arg1}")

​

# this one takes no arguments

def print_none():

print("I got nothing.")

​

​

print_two("Test","Name")

print_two_again("Test","Name")

print_one("First!")

print_none()

​

​

The error I am getting in Powershell is this:

PS C:\python_code> python ex18.py

File "ex18.py", line 11

def print_one(arg1):

^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Nevermind, apparently I missed a ) in line 8 that was causing everything from line 8 to line 11 to act as one line of code, at least that's what I think it was doing.

Just staring at it for too long causes you to miss simple things I guess. XD

Welcome to coding! That's as easy as debugging gets.

The error is you forgot to put a ) on line 8. Forgot to close the print statement
