invalid syntax points to "return" in python -
i exploring vast language of python. i'm heavily relying on inbuilt error-decetion , googling debug programs. had no luck time around. thank time!
i getting
"invalid syntax @ line 5"
here python-code of simple hangman-game:
import random def __secretword__(): secret_word = word_list[random.randomint(len(word_list)) return secret_word #this line 5 def __ask__(): ans = input("would play more? (yes/no): ") if ans == "yes" __secretword__() else: print(":(") __secretword__() word_list = ["nei", "brun", "ja", "smile", "glad", "gal"] secret_word = secret_word sw_list = list(secret_word) guess_lines = ["_"] * len(secret_word) mistakes = [] lives = 2 * len(secret_word) print(guess_lines) user_guess = input("guess letter: ") while(lives != 0) if user_guess in sw_list: = sw_list.index(user_guess) del guess_lines[i] guess_lines.insert(i, user_guess) print(guess_lines) print("lives: ", lives) print("mistakes: ", mistakes) if "_" not in guess_lines: break else: mistakes.append(user_guess) print(guess_lines) lives = lives - 1 print("lives: ", lives) print(mistakes) __ask__()
your problem line before return missing closing square bracket ]. python thinks you're still inside brackets when line 5, , placing return inside brackets syntax error.
this common problem - if syntax error on line looks fine, it's worthwhile @ previous line, , see if line might being considered part of that.
