Print function

Berg

Hello,
I'm totally new to the Python language and to Pythonista as well.
I got the Pythonista app for my iPad Air and tried a few thing here and there. Maybe it is my lack of reading all the tutorials or maybe I'm missing something.
It seems the "print" function is not working for me, I mean, not bringing in any results, like it does in a regular computer. As in the example below:

>>> x = 100
>>> y =200
>>>  if:
>>> x + y == 300:
    print ("300")
>>> 300

this result does not show, it all stops in the previous line, print.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Proper syntax is:

if x + y == 300:
    print(x + y)

Under the wrench icon, I would recommend running Analyze (pyflakes) and Check Style to automatically fix code issues.

Are you doing this in the console, or the editor?

I'll point out that you have a syntax error -- you want

if x+y == 300:
    print("300")

not

if:
   x+y==300:

If you ran this, you will get a syntax error on the if line, and the x+y==300 line.

If you run this in the editor, you may need to slide your finger left to reveal the console -- if I recall correctly, the console is shown automatically the first time something is displayed, but not subsequently.
.
It is also possible that in whatever example you actually ran, maybe your condition was not being satisfied. Try adding

else:
   print('not 300.  x+y=={}'.format(x+y) )

to help you debug.

Or, if you just want to test out print:

print('Hello World!')

Sorry, I typed that in a hurry, at work; you're right about the syntax error :)
I'm not sure if I'm using the console or editor, but I'll check that out and try the example you suggested and will reply back. Thanks so much for the reply!
