SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

Question

I have no idea why this does not work please help

import random
x = 0
z = input('?')
int(z)

def main():
    while x < z:
        n1 = random.randrange(1,3)
        n2 = random.randrange(1,3)
        t1 = n1+n2
        print('{0}+{1}={2}'.format(n1,n2,t1)

When i run this it outputs this error

File "/Users/macbook/Documents/workspace/gamlir_filar/samlagning.py", line 12

                                                ^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

I am using eclipse and python 3.3 and i have no idea why this happens. It sometimes outputs errors like this.

Solution 1

You're missing a closing parenthesis ) in print():

print('{0}+{1}={2}'.format(n1,n2,t1))

and you're also not storing the returned value from int(), so z is still a string.

z = input('?')
z = int(z)

or simply:

z = int(input('?'))

Solution 2

Maybe this is what you mean to do:

import random

x = 0
z = input('Please Enter an integer: ')
z = int(z) # you need to capture the result of the expressioin: int(z) and assign it backk to z

def main():
    for i in range(x,z):
        n1 = random.randrange(1,3)
        n2 = random.randrange(1,3)
        t1 = n1+n2
        print('{0}+{1}={2}'.format(n1,n2,t1))

main()

1. do z = int(z)
2. Add the missing closing parenthesis on the last line of code in your listing.
3. And have a for-loop that will iterate from x to z-1
