Python Development Techdegree Student 36,887 PointsHi Charles,
Are you sure the line causing the EOL syntax error is the print (5 + "a")
line? That line does have an error but it generates a TypeError not a SyntaxError.
I was able to make this message go away by correcting the error on the bottom line (which does have a SyntaxError)
