Using procedures

0

I'm having an issue with this section.

I am trying to enter the information into my Python 3.2 shell, because I cannot type anything in the simulator onscreen. So far I've had no issue with following along this way, but now that I'm trying to do the following as the instructor has done, I keep getting error messages when I try to print.

def rest_of_string(s):
    return s[1:]

print rest_of_string('audacity')

Please help!

I formatted your code. See this thread for more info:

You'll run into trouble using Python 3 for this course. But if you want to fiddle around with it online, here's an interpreter: http://ideone.com

As an aside, you might be able to get the online class interpreter working for you if you switch browsers. I think both Firefox and Chrome are supported on all platforms; I know there are issues with at least some versions of Internet Explorer.

print is now a function in python 3. You need to print inside quotes parentheses. It would be:

print (rest_of_string('audacity'))

The new print syntax is 

print('a string')

or 

foo = "string"
print(foo)
