Hello, I am a student trying to figure out Python. I am getting errors that I don't know how to fix. What do you do after you get the error message and something is highlighted? Does that have to be deleted?
The error doesn't need to be deleted because it appears in the interpreter, not in your code. However,...
#>>> The Dice Game
Are you trying to type the whole program into the interactive Python shell? If so that's the wrong approach. The >>> prompt is only intended for entering a few lines to experiment and find out how things work. You should create a new text file and write the code into that. You can then run the file in the interpreter. If you are using an IDE (such as IDLE) that usually means you use the File->New menu and an editor window will appear. There will then be a Run menu somewhere (in IDLE its Run->Run Module) to run the program. If you are using IDLE take a look at Danny's tutorial here: http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~dyoo/python/idle_intro/index.html As to your error please copy the en tire error message and send it to us, otherwise we have to guess what the problem is...
