Invalid syntax error

[sl33k]

I'm trying project euler problem 3 and I've hit the wall with this
error. What could be the problem here?

l=[].... if num%i==0:
.... l.append(i)
.... i+=1
.... print max(l)
File "<stdin>", line 5
print max(l)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Its an indentation error

You must be using Python 3. Along with many, many other changes, Python
3 uses a print function instead of a print statement. If you want to
follow along with the problems, use the version of Python it uses (2.7
is probably safe if there isn't a version specified).

Hi,
if you are using python 3, you'd (most likely) need to adapt the code
written for python 2.
see:

It is a indentation error. It should be like:
.... if num%i==0:
.... l.append(i)
.... i+=1
....

You have to insert an empty line after the end of the while loop (before
the print command), so that the interpreter can run and finish the loop
before it is to print the result.



Best regards,

You have to insert an empty line after the end of the while loop (before
the print command), so that the interpreter can run and finish the loop
before it is to print the result.

Note that this only applies to the interactive interpreter, to help it
identify when to terminate the block and pass on to the compiler.
When running a script, the extra blank lines are unnecessary, and
indentation alone identifies the blocks.
