syntaxerror: "unexpected character after line continuation character in python" math

I am having problems with this Python program I am creating to do maths, working out and so solutions but I'm getting the syntax error: "unexpected character after line continuation character in python"

This is my code:

print("Length between sides: "+str((length*length)*2.6)+" \ 1.5 = "+str(((length*length)*2.6)\1.5)+" Units")

My problem is with \1.5. I have tried \\1.5 but it doesn't work either.

Using python 2.7.2

Solution

  • The division operator is /, not \
