A syntax error

Question

Hello!
I'm learning some basics of coding in my free time, chose Python as my first language (except some HTML in middle school).
I was trying out some things from the python 3 tutorial in IDLE and discovered a syntax error
I just finished the generators lesson and I wrote this (it's the same as in the lesson):

def make_word():
word = ""
for ch in "spam":
word +=ch
yield word

print(list(make_word()))

and the thing is, it's working on the code playground, but giving me a syntaxerror (higlighting "print") in the python shell.
Why is that?

Answer 1

oh, I think I got it! I just had to press enter again after defining the function, and THEN print the result. :P I was just trying to do it all at once.
