Using a string in a 1D array

I am trying to get the piece of code to work below. Every time I try to enter the students name it comes up with an error. It does allow me to enter numbers names_list = [] marks_list = [] for student in range(5): name = input("Enter students name ") mark = int(input("Enter students mark ")) #add the data to the list names_list.append(name) marks_list.append(mark) print "Student \t Mark" for pupil in range(5): print (names_list[pupil], "\t " , marks_list[pupil])

names_list = [] marks_list = [] for student in range(5): name = input("Enter students name ") mark = int(input("Enter students mark ")) #add the data to the list names_list.append(name) marks_list.append(mark) print ("Student \t Mark") for pupil in range(5): print (names_list[pupil], "\t " , marks_list[pupil]) Brian it is working you need only add separately per line like this below. I only added parentheses for print student1 10 student2 9 student3 6 student4 4 student5 2

If you're doing Python 2, the: print(names_list[pupil], "\t", marks_list[pupil]) is incorrect syntax for Python 2, the () is for Python 3. If you're doing Python 3, the: print "Student \t Mark" is incorrect syntax for Python 3, the "" is for Python 2.

Oh, in that case, the only issues I can see are the print function calls. The last 3 lines should be: print("Student \t Mark") for pupil in range(5): print(names_list[pupil] + "\t" + marks_list[pupil]) Notice the parentheses around the first print statement's text, and the "+" signs instead of the "," signs in the second one. Happy coding! 😁
