How to use Syntax Differences between Python 2 and Python 3 | Softcrayons IT Training Tutorial

For beginners, there are few points to remember if you have thought of learning Python. We will Discuss 2 of them here:

1. Printing values on screen
2. User input

There are many more small differences that I won’t get into for now.

1. Printing values

The first most basic difference you will notice b/w python 2 and python 3 versions is printing values on the screen.

Python 2	Python 3
print“Hello”	print(“Hello”)

In python 2, to print a value you just need to apply quotes after
print syntax because print behaves as an operator, which means it
operates on whatever comes after it. In python 3, print is a function
that takes arguments, So parenthesis are must.


So remember whenever you see error like this


>>>print“Lucious”File”<stdin>”,line1print“Lucious”^SyntaxError:Missingparenthesesincallto’print’  It means you were trying use python 2 syntax in python 3. 2.    User Input Next
difference you should know is about user input used to take values from
user. In python 2 the raw_input()function was used but in python 3 it
is removed and is replaced by input()


It means for both strings and integers you will use this functions only if working in python 3.
