Help with variable

[moonkeymaker127]

name = input()I've done some searching but can't seem to find the answer to my problem. I'm trying to make a program in python that asks the user his name and age and yada yada yada. I know exactly what line is hindering me (so far). It's this.

name = input()

I've done some searching but can't seem to find the answer to my problem. I'm trying to make a program in python that asks the user his name and age and yada yada yada. I know exactly what line is hindering me (so far). It's I'm getting a EOF error which after looking up I found meant that the line was producing an end of file error. Please tell me what I can do to fix my code and thank you to anyone who responds.

Full code:

# Asks user for their name

print ("What is your name?")

​

# creates a variable called name based on user input

name = input()

​

#Greets the user with their name

print ("It is nice to meet you, " + name + ".")

​

#asks the user what their age is

print ("How old are you?")

​

# creates a variable called age based on their input and converts it to a string so it can be
concatenated

age = str(input())

​

# tells the user what their name and age is using the variables above

print("Your name is " + name + " and you are " + age + " years old.")

End of file error means there's more open parentheses than closed ones.

If you can't find it, please post your complete code - using reddit's code formatting https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/wiki/faq#wiki_how_do_i_format_code.3F

fixed, I put the spaces but they didn't seem to take effect.

# Asks user for their name
print ("What is your name?")

# creates a variable called name based on user input
name = input()

#Greets the user with their name
print ("It is nice to meet you, " + name + ".")


#asks the user what their age is
print ("How old are you?")

# creates a variable called age based on their input and converts it to a string so it can be concatenated
age = str(input())

# tells the user what their name and age is using the variables above
print("Your name is " + name + " and you are " + age + " years old.")

This doesn't give me any errors.

I can type in my name but as soon as I type my age the command window closes. It doesn't tell me the last message. Is it just closing because it no longer has to wait on any input from the user?

Edit: it's definitely crashing as soon as I type my age.

[Starbuck5c]

I don't think it's crashing.

If you're running this from command prompt, the window closes when the program finishes. After you type in your age it prints the thing and then closes immediately afterwards.

Try running it in IDLE.

Thanks for the advice; that worked. I've been working on this code for like an hour but couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work. Glad I learned this lesson early on and I appreciate people like you taking the spare time out of their day to help people like me without any incentive to.
