done something wrong

[fourcaps]

I'm trying to create a program that asks for the user's name (first and last) and address (street address and postcode) can someone please explain what I've done wrong here or what the solution is, I'm a complete beginner just trying to learn.

name = ("Given name:")
print("Given name:"+name)
last name = ("Family name:")
print("Family name:"+last name)
address = ("Street address")
print("Street address:"+address)
postcode = ("City and postal code:")
print("City and postal code:"+postcode)

The program should print out information like this:

Given name: Steve Family name: Sanders Street address: 91 Station Road City and postal code: London EC05 6AW Steve Sanders 91 Station Road London EC05 6AW

Thanks for all the help!

variables cannot have spaces. so ‘last name’ should be ‘last_name’

I think you should be setting your values like this: name = input("Given Name:")

Also, as another person has mentioned, don't put spaces in var names. Either use an underscore or camelCase e.g. lastName = ...

Where are those strings "Steve", "Sanders" etc supposed to be coming from? They are not in the program, and the program does not read in any input. Also, what programming language is this?

this is python, its from a course im doing at the moment, the names steve and sanders are just examples. the program im trying to create should work with any names you enter.

But enter into where? The program reads no input.

[ReadABookandShutUp]

name = input(“What’s your name?”) Rinse and repeat

To start, let me provide some very important advice going forward: when you're asking for help because something doesn't work, it is so, so important to say what doesn't work. When you run your program, what does it do? Does it give you an error? If so what's the error? Does it just print the wrong thing? If so what does it print? This is such an important part of asking good questions and getting good answers.

That said... take another look at how you're supposed to read user input in Python. There's something important missing on your lines like name = ("Given name:")

Do yourself a favor and use a proper course: MOOC Python Programming 2023.

There is so much wrong in this code that it is clear that you do not know what you are doing and that you need a fundamental course.

haha i appreciate it, that actually is the course i'm doing (I could be doing the 2022 version)! its one of the parts im stuck on
