Python problem; code from codecatemy to sololearn "code playground"

Question

Hello;

I try to learn python; i use 2 website Codecademy and Sololearn.

why do when I put the code from Codecademy exercise into the Sololearn code playground, nothing work ?

exemple :

EXERCICE 1

my_string = "stringgggg"
print len(my_string)
print my_string.upper()

* Codecademy result :
[code]
10
STRINGGGGG
[/code]

* Sololearn result :
[code]
File "..\Playground\", line 2
print len(my_string)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
[/code]

EXERCICE 2

name = raw_input("What is your name? ")
quest = raw_input("What is your quest? ")
color = raw_input("What is your favorite color? ")

print "Ah, so your name is %s , your quest is %s , " \
"and your favorite color is %s ." % (name, quest, color)

* Codecademy result :

-console ask the 3 question then print the string wit the answer as "%s" -

* Sololearn result :

[code]
File "..\Playground\", line 5
print "Ah, so your name is %s , your quest is %s , " \
^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'
[/code]

What's wrong ? is the code from codecademy not "real python" code ?

Answer 1

Keep in mind, Codecademy uses Python 2.x, and SoloLearn uses Python 3.x

Due to the differences in the syntax of the two, there is bound to be issues. I suggest using something other than Codecademy, such as TutorialsPoint. 👍

Answer 2

wow every thing i learnt from codecademy wont work on python 3 ?

wtf i feel scammed, i wanted to learn python 3, thanks for your answer

Answer 3

exercice 1:
print(my_string.len())

exercice 2:
print("ah so your name is",name,"and your quest is",quest)

SoloLearn is Python 3.x, and so is TutorialsPoint. Try those only! 👍
