Beginner Python 3 syntax

Question

I have been writing a simple quiz with python but keep getting a "SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement" in my Python GUI. Please help.

print("Welcome to my quiz!")
score = 0
question1 = str(input("What colour is a banana."))
if question.lower() == 'yellow':
 print("Correct. The answer is", question1)
 score = score + 1
else:
 print("Incorrect. The answer is yellow, not", question1)
print score

Answer 1

You've got a couple issues. First, question is not defined (line 4); that should be question1. Second, print is a function in Python 3, so your last line ought to be print(score). Third, input already returns a string, so you don't need the str call. So line 3 ought to look like this:

question1 = input("What colour is a banana.")

• Pavel Anossov: There is no raw_input in python 3.
• Henry Keiter: @PavelAnossov Oh, heck. That's what I get for posting on a Py3 question without Py3 installed. Fixed :)

Answer 2

This is a more advanced version of your program but by using a list we can do it easier

 print("Welcome to my quiz!")
score = 0 
color = ['yellow']
question1 = str(input("What colour is a banana."))
if question1 == color[0]:
 print("Correct. The answer is", question1)
 score +=1
 print(score)
else:
 print("Incorrect. The answer is yellow, not", question1)
 
 print (score)
