python input problem

[velious]

this code is being difficult with me. It says that the " mark by the word "are" is wrong..but i dont know why. I tried to seperate the " marks and commas but that didn't seem to help much.


print "Welcome to my program "
print "Please type your name, age, city, state, and zip,"

name = input("name ")
age = input("age ")
city = input("city ")
state = input("state ")
zip = input("zip ")

print "Your name is", name "you are", age "years old and live in", city , state, zip
print "Thank you for joining us!."

print "Welcome to my program "
print "Please type your name, age, city, state, and zip,"

name = input("name ")
age = input("age ")
city = input("city ")
state = input("state ")
zip = input("zip ")

print "Your name is", name "you are", age "years old and live in", city , state, zip
print "Thank you for joining us!." 

try adding the line

print "Your name is %s your age is %s years old and live in %s %s %s" % (name, age, city, state, zip) 

other wise to use your print statment, don't use the double quotes, use single quotes and it should work.

Jason, it did not work, but thats ok..i'll keep working at it.. was wondering what does the %s mean?

[Jason]

%s basically says you are using a string variable....so if you were using an int it would be %i and double/floats are %f extended florats are %ef or something...but then at the end you say what variables go in the order in which you use the variables...

print "%s %i %s %s %i " % (name, age, city, state, zip)

where name = string
age = int
city = string
state = string
zip = int

and they correspond to the porper var call, maybe try taking the '%' out that seperates the vars and the printing string.....
