invalid syntax message after ">>>input(please input equation)" can anybody get my code to work in python 3 idle

Question

I need to get my code to work, it says i have invalid syntax after a continuing character, also I need help taking the code and turning it into a variable

this I want my code to be a calculator here is what I have tried:

>>>input(please input equation)
>>>x=input
>>>print(x)

if someone can make the input on a touch event, that would be greatly appreciated! if you do do that, please leave a space at the to for me to put instructions on how to use it. ( for people who are more of a noob than me)

Answer 1

think the sentence in input needs to be in parentheses, also you could just write "x = input("please input equation")"

Answer 2

What @Nico Loos said.

x = input("Please input equation")
print(x)

Answer 3
