2,096 PointsUsing Mac. Pasting my code from workspaces in terminal and getting Line 7 error from my new_item input
shopping_list = []
print("Enter items for your shopping List") print("Type in DONE when finished")
while True: new_item = input("> ") if new_item == "DONE": break shopping_list.append(new_item)
print("Here is your list!")
for item in shopping_list: print(item)
why am I getting an error in terminal? When I run the script it runs the first two print commands. But when I enter an item into the list I get a error from the line new_item = input("> "). This script runs fine in workspaces.
