Question

I’m very new so just learning, so go easy please!

start = int(input('How much did you start with?:' ))
if start < 0:
    print("That's impossible!  Try again.")
    print(start = int(input('How much did you start with:' )))
if start >= 0:
    print(inorout = raw_input('Cool!  Now have you put money in or taken it out?: '))
    if inorout == in:
        print(in = int(raw_input('Well done!  How much did you put in?:')))
        print(int(start + in))

This always results in syntax error? I’m sure I’m doing something obvious wrong!

Thanks!

• You can’t assign to variables in expressions in Python, like in C: print (start=int(input(‘blah’))) isn’t correct. Do the assignment first in a separate statement.
• The first line musn’t be indented, but that might just be a copy and paste error.
• The word in is a reserved word so you can’t use it for variable names
