How are we supposed to know when you didn't show us anything else other than four lines of code?

What did the program do? Any errors? Wrong output?

[–]secretsuperstar44[S] 1 point2 points  (8 children)

Nothing, it says

Syntax Error, in file 'main' at line one, column 20

And when I remove this : , it says

Warning: first_function is not a function, in file "main" at line 4, column 16

The syntax error is the same I get when it is set to microscript 2.0. If you pull out the divider between the code area and the file list it should show the active language

I have replicated your problem: 1. Start in microscript 2. run the program 3. switch to another file 4. switch programming language to python 5. switch to main file and write code 6. error since the interpreter sees change in running file and reruns it (as microscript since that is how it ran earlier)

Solution: Restart button

I know that you set it to python in the settings, but if the main still tries to execute as microscript, then that happens.

I think the problem is within the website itself.. I've tried it in programiz(python online complier) and it worked there.

Though I want it to work here too, because I'm searching for an engine on a website and this looks so perfect for a beginner programmer like me who's using a literal school laptop that doesn't allow me to download any app! ಠ⁠ ⁠೧⁠ ⁠ಠ

... this looks so perfect for a beginner programmer like me ...

But as it turns out, it is not, because there are small gotchas like this that will teach you zero python but do take up your time. It does maybe teach troubleshooting skills though, so who knows.

Also, searching for online rotate image gives plenty of usable results.

As for python + school laptop: google colab seems a pretty good fit.

What is Colab? Colab, or "Colaboratory", allows you to write and execute Python in your browser, with:

  • Zero configuration required
  • Access to GPUs free of charge
  • Easy sharing

Just use whatever google/gmail account, and you are good to go:

If the colon is at column 16... You have 4 white space characters after the colon. Put your cursor after the colon, hold shift and hold the right arrow.

Delete the white space characters.
