Got a syntax error.

For some reason it is showing invalid syntax, though I have followed all the steps correctly. Can you please help me out?

yes, what Behar said, if you click on 'ask for help' and then select the 'attach my code' at the bottom we can see what you are doing and provide specific help.

Invalid syntax means you have done something wrong, quite like missed a comma, or a colon, or not closed a bracket () or similar.

If it is showing invalid syntax you have not followed all the steps correctly. That being said, we cannot help if you dont post your code here, for us to trobuleshoot. So please do that and ill be sure to help!
