Python Syntax Question
if shape == 1
height = input("Please enter the height")
width = input("Please enter the width")
area = height*width
print "The area is", area
else:
radius = input("Please enter the radius")
area = 3.14*(radius**2)
print "The area is", area
This is the part I get an syntax error with, any ideas?
Thanks in advance

No answers yet? Is this a programming/hacking site or what?
Could someone point me to a better forum for these type question please?

That second post was definitely unnecessarily snappy.
There are problems with your code, but they could also be problems on the use side
Issues:
1) No ':' at the end of your if statement
2) No use of whitespace to indicate code sections.
Potential user issue:
1) input will only accept numeric entries. If the person typed a letter, a syntax error would be thrown.

Sorry for being snappy
Thanks it was just a simple :!
The whitespace problem was due to the cut & paste.
Whats a good site to cut & paste code/save it etc?
