尝试调用函数时Python IDLE中的语法错误

Question

I am learning Python code. When I create a function it works fine but when I go to call the function I get a syntax error, what is wrong with my code?

    >>> def someFunction(a,b):
            print (a+b)
       someFunction(12,451)
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Answer 1

You need to hit enter one more time after your print statement, it thinks your function call was part of the function definition. You'll know when you completed the function definition when it prompts you for a new statement with

>>>

So it would look like

>>> def someFunction(a,b):
        print (a+b)

>>> someFunction(12,451)
