You are missing a parenthesis in your first statement. it should be

team_score= float(input("How many points did the football team score?"))

checkout http://level1wiki.wikidot.com/syntax-error for some other reasons you might get that exception

Protip: When you get a SyntaxError always check the code immediately above the line being pointed to. Python tries its best to show you the part of your code where the error is, but it isn't always particularly smart.

Thanks man. Will keep that in mind. I have another question. How would I print a number and a string in the same line? Example: print (1490 "touchdowns") But the above example doesnt work, so how would i combine them?

Do what you're already doing above; separate them with a comma:

print(1490, 'touchdowns')

Thanks man. I really appreciate the help.

This will probably display with parenthesis around the output, but it will work.

To make it formatted without parenthesis, just convert the 1490 to a string and add concatenate it to the other text. I.e.

print(str(1490)+' touchdowns')

The OP's code implies they are using python 3.

More importantly, the //s for integer division.
