What's wrong with this line of print = ('Hello,' + full_name.title () + '!')? [closed]

In python 2 print is a declaration of language, not an object, ie using the equal operator = doing with print as if it were a variable will cause error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "python", line 14
    print = 'Hello,' + full_name.title() + '!'
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

See that ^ points to the equal sign as the syntax error, ie if you want to use this as a variable then use a name other than a "function" or reserved word, create an intuitive var, for example:

msg = 'Hello,' + full_name.title() + '!'

Now if the intention is to display , simply remove the sign from = and use as you used on the other line:

print full_name

print 'Hello,' + full_name.title() + '!'

print This is a language statement, the error is happening because when you use the assignment operator ( = ) trying to assign something to print , the interpreter understands that this is a syntax (% with%).

Maybe you want something like:

name = "ada lovelace"

print( name.title() )
print( name.upper() )
print( name.lower() )

first_name = "ada"
last_name = "lovelace"
full_name = first_name + " " + last_name

print( full_name )

print( "Hello, " + full_name.title() + "!" )

Output:

Ada Lovelace
ADA LOVELACE
ada lovelace
ada lovelace
Hello, Ada Lovelace!
