Invalid syntax when setting variable

Question

When setting variable c1, it shows invalid syntax error on c1

def project(k, n):
 h = 200
 L = 18
 M = 70
 da = 8
 xo = h - L
 g = 9.81
 V0 = m.sqrt(2 * g * L)
 W = M * g
 xss = -(W / k) + h - L
 wn = m.sqrt(k / M)
 dc = 2 * m.sqrt(k * M)
 c = (k * n) / wn
 ctotal = c + da
 dr = ctotal / dc
 wd = wn * m.sqrt(1 - dr**2)
 Td = (2 * m.pi / (wn * m.sqrt(1 - dr**2))
 c1 = xo - xss
 c2 = (V0 + dr * wn * (xo - xss)) / wd
 c11 = - dr * wn * c1 + c2 * wd
 c22 = - dr * wn * c2 - c1 * wd
 c111 = - dr * wn * c11 + c22 * wd
 c222 = - dr * wn * c22 - c11 * wd
 c1111 = - dr * wn * c111 + c222 * wd
 c2222 = - dr * wn * c222 - c111 * wd
 c5 = - dr * wn * c1111 + c2222 * wd
 c6 = - dr * wn * c2222 - c1111 * wd
 xRoot = Newton(Td / 4, Td / 2, velo, acc, 1.0e-9, dr, wn, t, c11, c22, wd, c111, c222)
 maxX = deflect(dr, wn, xRoot, c1, c2, wd) + Xss
 vRoot = Newton(0, Td / 8, acc, DAcc, 1.0e-9, dr, wn, t, c111, c222, wd, c1111, c2222)
 maxV = velo(dr, wn, vRoot, c11, c22, wd)
 aRoot = Newton(Td / 4, Td / 2, DAcc, D2Acc, 1.0e-9, dr, wn, t, c1111, c2222, wd, c5, c6)
 maxA = acc(dr, wn, aRoot, c111, c222, wd)
 return xRoot, maxX, vRoot, maxV, aRoot, maxA

• Dmitry Grigoryev: I couldn't help noticing you broke the naming convention here. c5 and c6 should be named c11111 and c22222, respectively.

Answer 1

When a syntax error is reported, sometime the problem is in the line before.

Td = (2 * m.pi / (wn * m.sqrt(1 - dr**2))
c1 = xo - xss

Look a the first line, there is a missing closing bracket, or alternatively the first opening bracket is unnecessary.
