I'm learning python at an incredible pace (It shoulda taken me a week to do what i did this whole day xD)
Anywho, my tutorial told me to not get help with this.. but im blown away by why this is giving me an error. I mean really, I dont get how this isn't correct:
sentence = "All good things come to those who wait."
command prompt said:
C:\Users\Jacob\Desktop\python>ex26.py
File "C:\Users\Jacob\Desktop\python\ex26.py", line 77
sentence = "All good things come to those who wait."
