Help (Syntax error)
#1
This code is not working:
import time guess = '' answer = '' points = 0 lives = 9 heart = u"\u2661" def correct(): points += 1 print("correct!") time.sleep(0.2) print("Lives left: " + lives * heart def checkanswer(): if answer == Guess Correct() if answer != Guess Wrong()
This gives the error:
File "C:/Users/bcola/Desktop/Other/python/Guessing game.py", line 13
def checkanswer():
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax



Please help

You are missing a ) at then end of line 11. Always look at the line before what the error says when you get a Syntax error.
