Hey all,

I need help with a programming error. I get this when I try to run this temperature conversion program I've coded:

Code

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
whiteeagle@whiteeagle-desktop:/media/Storage/PyBackup$ python temperature.py
  File "temperature.py", line 6
    print f "degrees Fahrenheit";
                                              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The code is:

Code

#Converts Celsius to Fahrenheit as well as Fahrenheit to Celsius

def c_to_f():
	f = int(raw_input("Temperature in Celsius please:	"))
	f = (c-32)/1.8;
	print f "degrees Fahrenheit";
	break

def f_to_c():
	c = int(raw_input("Temperature in Fahrenheit please: "))	
	c = (f*1.8)+32;
	print c "degrees Celsius";
	break

def menu_2():
	print "What do you want to do?";
	print "1. Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit.";
	print "2. Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius.";
	print "Any other key to return to the main menu.";

def main_menu():
	print "Would you like to do a conversion? Y or y to confirm. ";

while 1:
	main_menu()
	x = raw_input("Menu choice please: ")
		while x == "y" or x == "Y":
			menu_2()
			y = raw_input("Menu choice please: ")
			if y == 1:
				c_to_f()
			if y == 2:
				f_to_c()
			else:
				break
		else:
			break
else:
	print "Goodbye.";
	break

Where am I going wrong here?

I think you're print statement is wrong. I don't know python, but most languages (scripting too) require you to concatenate strings for echoing.

try

print f,"degrees Fahrenheit";

You'll also need to modify the other lines to use commas as well.

2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!

Thanks, I had lots of debugging even after I fixed that error. I must of really forgotten how to code if I had made probably close to 30 errors total. Sad
