Are you using Python version 3? If so, you need to put parentheses around your print arguments, because print is a function: print("i love pizza!") print("pizza" * 20) print("yum" * 40) print("i'm full.") As an additional tip, I believe your keyboard has a couple of keys on it marked "Shift". Holding one down lets you produce capital letters, which make your emails significantly more readable. Get some practice with these keys, as you'll use them a lot in programming :) ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
