When running this simple python program on Geany (I am just learning how to program for the first time):
name = input(What is your name?: ")
age = int(How old are you?: "))
year = str((2017 - age) + 100
print(name + "will be 100 years old in the year " + year)
I get this error:
C:\WINDOWS\system32' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.
Can anyone help me get this working?
Your code doesn't run because you were missing multiple quotes, parentheses, and a method.
My file is as such:
name = raw_input("What is your name?: ")
age = input("How old are you?: ")
year = str((2017 - age) + 100)
print(name + "will be 100 years old in the year " + year)
Also, your filename doesn't have any extension so Geany has no clue that it's a Python file. So it just tries to run it and fails because it has no proper command to run the file.
If you resave the file with a .py extension, it specifies to Geany that it needs to run the file using the Python command.
