Python Python Basics Meet Python Syntax and Errors

Why Do Mistakes Not "Happen?"

So I watched the "Syntax and Errors" video and followed along using the Workstation. Whenever I tried to make the mistakes described in the video (Messing up quotation marks, case, etc.), it would still recognize the print command as correct and did not identify any EOL or EOF errors. Is there something I'm missing or is the Workstation acting up?

It has been very fascinating and fun so far working with Python in Team Treehouse. I appreciate the support given so far.

It could be because you did not save the new script and therefore when you then run it again, you are still running the old version, without errors put in place.

I was experiencing the same issues and discovered that it was because I'd neglected to save the file

Workstation cannot and will never work up or correct you. You just wrote your code without an error ... be proud!

Awesome! So I'm not that shabby of a beginner after all!
