I am learning python as 'new comer in coding'. I was writing a code and got a following error. Can someone please rectify why I have following with the code. Thank you
def mean(value):
if type(value) == dict:
the_mean=(sum(value.values()) / len(value))
else:
the_mean = sum(value) / len(value)
return the_mean
student_grades={"Marry":2,"Jim":3,"Sam":5}
print(mean(student_grades))
print(type(mean),type(sum))
The error is on line 4

You have to remove 1 indentation from the line : a python if statement is written :
def foo():
if condition:
...
else:
...
return

def ShowData(data = (x)):

keep getting this error:

Replace the “ charachter with this " ?

Here's a function I'm writing:
def addError(test,range_min,range_max,result):
err = abs(log(range_max/max(range_min,epsylon))
if test >= range_min and test <= range_max:
result.append(err)
else:
e1=abs(log(test/max(range_min,epsylon)))
e2=abs(log(test/max(range_max,epsylon)))
result.append( min(e1,e2) / max(err,epsylon) *100 + err)
When I try to run this, it fails with error:
File "<ipython-input-26-8b4b5ae453e4>", line 12
if (test >= range_min and test <= range_max):
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Why am I getting this?

You forgot to close all the brackets in the previous line, this should fix the problem:
err = abs(log(range_max/max(range_min,epsylon)))

I'm getting crazy syntax errors in my terminal. For example:
end_result = ASCII_to_alpha_list(coded_list)
return ''.join(end_result)
Returns
End_result = ASCII_to_alpha_list(coded_list)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>
What's weirding me out especially is that it doesn't matter what I put down - it returns the same error.
print 'Hi'
returns
print "Hi"
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>
Beginner coder here. Thanks for any help!

You almost certainly have an error on the line before, probably a missing close parenthesis.

I am new to this and am receiving an error that says print (line 5) is an invalid syntax
from random import randint
r=randint
while True:
s=int(input('How many sides would you like on your die')
print (r(1,s))

The problem is not actually on line 5, but on line 4. You have two ( brackets but only one ). In search of the final ) the Python interpreter checks the following line, and only at that point does it raise the error.

s=int(input('How many sides would you like on your die')
^
There is a closing parenthesis missing.
