Question

I am doing exercise 26 in learn python the hard way and have been struggling on it. I have read it backwards and everything, but in line 77 I get :

sentence = "All god \t things come to those who weight."
           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I dont know why the arrow is at the e .
I dont just want to know how to fix it but what the problem is.

Answer 1

You’re probably missing a close bracket, brace, or parenthesis on the previous line of code.

Edit: From the code:

print "We'd have %d beans, %d jars, and %d crabapples." % secret_formula(start_pont

There is no close parenthesis at the end of the line.

This is almost always the problem if you have a SyntaxError near the beginning of a line that looks right.
