Try
if bears[bear] == "friendly" :
you're missing : at the end.

Hello,
I'm learning Python from an online course and could not figure out why
my super-simple code had a syntax error. I finally submitted the code
I thought was right as the answer to the problem and it was accepted
as correct; however, I could never get Spider to execute it.
bears = {"Grizzly":"angry", "Brown":"friendly", "Polar":"friendly"}
for bear in bears:
if bears[bear] == "friendly"
print("Hello, "+bear+" bear!")
else:
print("odd")
The question was to come up with correct 'if' statement in line 3. I
thought I was missing something soooooo basic I couldn't see it, but
it is correct. When I tested it in the console it was evaluating
correctly, but in the editor...
File
"C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyder\utils\site\sitecustomize.py",
line 710, in runfile
execfile(filename, namespace)
File
"C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyder\utils\site\sitecustomize.py",
line 101, in execfile
exec(compile(f.read(), filename, 'exec'), namespace)
File "F:/directory/delete.py", line 9
if bears[bear] == "friendly"
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
...and the editor shows a syntax error next to the line number in the
editor, too. It's making me kind of crazy.
Thanks for any help.
